Racism In Korea

I have a student in one of my classes from the United Arab Emirates. I'm happy to have him in the class, as his particular strengths and weaknesses add an unusual challenge for me and, as importantly, the other students as well. And he's an interesting guy. The new supervisor at work--a job which might've been mine, had I been interested--asked me if I'd "patted him down for bombs." What does one say to that?
