Racial Profiling of African, Hispanic (Latino), and Asian Americans

What is racial profiling? The most common example of police racial profiling is "DWB", otherwise known as "driving while black". This refers to the practice of police targeting African Americans for traffic stops because they believe that African Americans are more likely to be engaged in criminal activity.

While racial profiling is illegal, a 1996 Supreme Court decision allows police to stop motorists and search their vehicles if they believe trafficking illegal drugs or weapons. More traffic stops leads to more arrests, which further skews the racial profiling statistics against African Americans. Studies have shown that African Americans are far more likely to be stopped and searched. Are African Americans really committing more crimes or are they just caught more often because the police target them? This is a vicious cycle that even the strictest law enforcement advocates would admit is patently unfair.


Why have I posted this? Because it seems that many in 4um automatically accept much info that is posted elsewhere simply because it meets with their approval. That does not mean that what is posted, ANYWHERE, is the truth. And when you start copying non-sense from other sites, esp. information that depends on racial profiling, it should not take a genius to figure out that something JUST MAY BE WRONG WITH THE INFO. But hey, what do I know.....

What is racial profiling?

Common sense, really. (And not so common, alas.)

Of course you would never stoop to taking a bribe. Could you sell me a deeply out-of-the-money option?

Indeed. Common sense says that when you're looking for drug smugglers from Mexico, you don't waste your time searching Granny Mildred flying back to Idaho from her vacation in Acapulco.
