What is Racial Profiling
Wednesday, April 28th, 2010I looked up the proper accounting of what racial profiling is and I found That it is the inclusion of racial or ethnic characteristics in determining whether a person is considered (likely to commit a particular type of crime or an illegal act) or to behave in a “predictable” manner. It is often confused with the more comprehensive offender profiling and has been perceived to be directed most often (toward non white) individuals. Although this practice has been common for centuries, the practice became (particularly controversial) toward the end of the 20th century in the United States, as the potential for (abuse by law enforcement came to light.
I would like to thank Wikipedia for clearing that up, now should every person who is non white looking be profiled,well lets see maybe their car should be profiled, or their groceries, should a person be afraid to buy foreign music, eat foreign food, oh my God we have the Italian food fest every year (and I might add the food is wonderful). I have thought of the broader spectrum of the goings on in our world and something like this is uncouth, unfair, and just plain wrong. Has anyone looked up Jan to see if her “background is that of an “acceptable” PROFILE of what an AMERICAN should be. Does she eat beans or salsa oh my there should be a law! Oh wait there is. I wonder if Jan Brewer has put much thought into resigning her post as she has shown herself to be inept for the position in my opinion. When you give a mouse a cookie!!!
