<p>I think those examples are just blatant examples of racism. When a certain "profile" is more likely to do something dangerous than others, would you then think, especially during this time of a national security crisis, profiling could help monitor/prevent bad things from happening.</p>
<p>If you don't like racial profiling, what about simple profiling? Would you be willing to detain people of (Here's that word again) profile? For example, if the police have been told by a victim that the suspect is an Hispanic male with long hair, are the police justified to investigate all Hispanic males with long hair that live around the community?</p>
