Its a form of racism. It has more to do with police and profiling suspects based on race. ie...whos car to search, what type of person are they looking for etc.

I think it's a sort of chicken-and-egg question.
Racial profiling is done because people of certain races are known to be arrested more often for certain crimes. I believe it's one in every three black men who is likely to spend some time in jail during his life, where the proportion of white men is much smaller. So those who back racial profiling say that they're simply being realistic about trying to catch the people who they know are committing crimes.
However, racism may very well fuel the arrests. It could be possible that an equal proportion of white men and black men are committing crimes, but the black men are being caught more because the police focus more on black men.
That's what I mean by a chicken-and-egg question. It's unclear whether racism causes profiling, or whether profiling causes racism, but it seems like they are interconnected.

No, an example of racial profiling would be to show extra attention to young middle eastern men at the security check at the airport. Because it was 19 young middle eastern men that flew the planes into the towers and the pentagon. An example of racism is a skin head. They believe their race is superior to others.

Kind of. However the difference is that racial profiling is done by the law, or cops.

Nope. Let me ask you this, if a fisherman finds a spot on the lake where he catches 20 fish a day, should he ignore that spot and go to a place where he catches one a week? It's the same thing. The bottom line is if you don't break the law, YOU DON'T GET BUSTED. For some reason Leroy and Shaniqua have not figured that out yet.

no it is not. some people have to racial profile while they are not racist, that is why one is called racial profilling and one is called racism

definite you probably did the right ingredient. I also imagine like you. If there have been 2 shops - an Indian one and an Asian one, you'll bypass to the Indian one first considering those were the persons contained in the contact record. the different reaction is from someone i do not pick on my crew because it truly is undemanding experience.
