Gender Profiling, OK? Racial Profiling, Not?

[Elok]

For crying out loud, if one witness is running from the scene of the crime and the other is just standing around, it should be perfectly obvious that the runner is the one to go for regardless of what race he is. Most racial profiling, as it actually occurs, is not that simple. It's more along the lines of black guys getting pulled over for driving suspiciously nice cars.
With that said, if black people were inherently criminal, as you say, the sensible thing to do would be a lot more severe than nosy police. If you're going to start spouting racial superiority you shouldn't do such a half-assed job of it. As it is, why don't you focus on digging up proof that black people are in fact natural crooks?

Yeah, I blame Jeffery Archer, H.I.H. heads, the Savings and Loan scheme operators and Enron's head honchoes
for me being questioned by the police so frequently.

I mean, if you're white, wear a suit, shirt and tie, and walk through Melbourne's C.B.D., or London's Square Mile, or down Wall Street, you're just asking for trouble.
Might as well just paint a big sign on my back: potential Caucasian white collar criminal...

Of course, that's when I'm not in my other guise of potential I.R.A./I.N.L.A./Real I.R.A. suspect.

Boddington's excellent points if you have been involved in any of these real life situations you would see it.

Tapped in late have not read the rest...

Thanks Blackice..nice to know someone else cares about combattng crime more effectively, rather than just appeasing criminals.

"Racial profiling" is the PC version of "police harrassment and racist cops."

Racial profiling is racism, pure and simple.

NOOOOOOO Imran -- the rule is that we are never suppose to agree on any issue.

I am so not a Republican.

Imran, it's not racism at all, that accusation is completely unnecessary and only serves to whip up hatred of the police.
