If you know a hispanic male robbed a store, it would be silly to watch out for Indian women, and wise to look for hispanic males.
That's why some people support racial profiling.

Because they fail to understand that you cannot punish a group because someone in the group has done something bad -- all they see is that you would catch more illegal aliens if you stop everyone who looks Hispanic or more terrorists if you interrogate everyone who looks Middle-Eastern and forget about that thing called "liberty."
Oh, and they're white.
