Racial profiling is not unethical! It is common sense, agree?

Question

If 22 Arabs boarded 4 different planes and crashed them into buildings, why is it wrong to at least watch Arabs at the airport from that point on? It is an Arab enemy that has threatened us and therefore it will be Arabs that attack us again. Can someone explain to me why one man's burden of being searched at an airport is more important than 300 others on the plane and thousands that are in buildings? This is the land of the free - not the land of lunacy.

When a white man is in a BMW in the middle of a crack-infested black neighborhood and cops pull him over for no apparent reason - isn't that racial profiling?

Just to point out that this is not just something that happens to minorities - it happens to us crack smokers. Just kidding. But seriously, what do you think.

Answer 1

racial profiling is wrong because not everyone from that specific race is what the stereotype says. It is a shame that society has made it where one bad apple spoils the bunch. A few Arabs terrorize America and now all Arabs are succumb to hostility and scrutiny. The same is for blacks. Some people see blacks selling drugs, in gangs, raping and murdering and assume that's how blacks are. I can go on with each and every race but we need to get out of that mentality. Not everyone are criminals out to break the law. Not just Arabs hijack plans, but i think whites, Spanish, blacks etc have the capability to as well. That's not good to think that way because then you are being blind to your environment. The person you most suspect will not always be the one to harm you.

Answer 2

Well when you put it that way - yes I would have to agree, but we can't just assume that all Arabs going onto planes are suicide bombers that want to crash planes into buildings just like we can't just assume all black men are drug dealers just like we can't assume that all white people are good, law-abiding citizens.

I don't know what the solution to this problem is - there probably isn't one because there will always be people on this earth that have to act crazy and ruin it for everyone else. It sucks.

Answer 3

I feel that now a days people are stereo typed because of their race America needs to look past the fact its color we are all people responsible for our own actions If a single black man wants to be in a gang or sell drugs why is it fair to say the mailman must sell drugs because he is black how dumb does that sound exactly so why is it different from any other race people are guilty of different kinds of things but their color has nothing to do with it so no you shouldn't judge people because of what other people have done.

Answer 4

If a BMW is riding through a crack infested hood and stops every now and then talking to loan people on the street, he should be stopped. He's either going to be jacked or he's resupplying his crack movers.

Answer 5

properly completed! i'm occupied with racial profiling. while Hasidic Jews and White Grandmas initiate ramming planes into homes or taking on Beslan gradeschools and raping little females so violently with complicated gadgets that they bleed to dying, then get decrease back to me with regard to the religion of Peace.

Answer 6

I think too many people are offend by common sense. But I do think cops take it too far sometime. But I think safety for all first, the rights of individuals second. Go Patriot Act.

Answer 7

I agree -- it is common sense -- to a point. Unfortunately, most people are not endowed with common sense.

Answer 8

Answer 9
