The same arguments that oppose affirmative action (only racists see race, "black" and "hispanic" are not synonyms for poor and uneducated) can be used to oppose racial pro-filling (just replace "poor and uneducated" with "criminals and drug addicts")
Yet why is it that some (especially on the far right) oppose affirmative action strongly, yet say that racial profiling is completely OK?
I am personally against both ( and this is comming from an minority)
I simply follow Stephen Colbert's motto. "I don't see race, people tell me I'm brown, I believe them" (insert any race for this)
What are your feelings towards both these issues, and if you happen to be againse affirmative action but in favour of racial profiling, can you defend those views as not being racist.
