I was racially profiled at Miami International Airport in 2011.
All I'm going to say about this is.....quit race trolling.
Not everything is about race. Not everyone is out there to get you because you're a "Hispanic American".
I'm sure there were some mestizo-looking Argentinians on the flight. How does a "Hispanic American" look like?
As another "Hispanic American" who flies regularly, you receive what you give. They ask the same questions to whites, blacks, and Aliens. The ones you were given were STANDARD questions. Also, why would they ask where you are from if you gave them your passport?
If you reply with an attitude, they will give you an attitude. Remember these guys are sick of dealing with rude people all day long......so if you make their day, they will make yours. Smile, give them good vibes and they will be receptive.
Again, how were you "racially profiled" or "discriminate" if the flight was full of Argies who are also Latin American?
Next time try to chat with them, game them.
Here's a conversation between them and I
Officer:
"Where are you headed?"
Me:
"Dallas"
Officer:
"What do you do in Dallas?"
Me:
"I'm a student at (college name), studying international relations"
Officer:
"Do you work?"
Me:
"Yeah , odd gigs like construction or IT "
Officer:
"Man, you're young and already have things going. You're going to be making money in no time."
Me:
"The problem will be not knowing what to spend it in!"
Officer:
"What were you doing in Mexico?"
Me:
"Having a good time, got drunk, fucked some cougars"
Officer:
"Sound like a good time. Do you have any alcohol"
Me:
"Nope, but I got some in my kidney though"
Officer"
"How long were you there?"
Me:
"About a month"
Officer:
"Alright man, welcome back and have a good time"
This is coming from someone with a felony drug charge on his record and gets searched often, they're rarely aggressive and rather understanding.
Edit: While a pin could be considered a weapon, they were likely curious as to what it was doing in your wallet .....which would only give them more curiosity.

The irony of this exchange is that I've always been treated with respect by US border agents, despite being Canadian. I attribute it to my superior ability to deal with authority figures, something I learned from my parents, who impressed upon me the importance of not having an entitlement attitude.
I've also had my negative moments with law enforcement officers, but while they may have been acting on information that was not true, they were simply doing their jobs and I don't hold it against them.
If you have any further disagreements with my perspective, I'd be happy to take this to PM.
Some people confuse TSA (Airport security) with CBP (border patrol/immigration) and USCIS/ICE (customs).
TSA CS sucks ass, they do not know how to handle customers and hire off any motherfucker with a GED despite not speaking decent English. Just because they are checking stuff they go on power trips that rival policemen's egos.
ICE/CBP is much better in CS terms as the requirements are tighter and they don't deal with herds of people at once compared to TSA.
It's not entitlement, it's knowing CS. Happy people = better environment = better public image.Then again, if one learns to submit to authority figures......then one will not complain.
