Oh... why are you talking about that? This thread is about grouping people together without any reason other than they look similar and assuming certain groups of people are dangerous. Read the title of the thread.
No, I made a claim about how people ARE profile. No one SHOULD be profiled, it's illegal.
Okay so next time a man robs a bank the cops should just pull everyone in from the whole neighborhood rather than narrow their search down to people that actually match the description. Genius.
That is not profiling, that's matching a description to someone who has already committed a crime. They don't describe them as black, colour will be part of the description, but there is also height, approximate weight, identifying marks. Profiling is saying all mainstream muslims are violent radicals, then treating them all as such.
I was never talking about that kind of profiling. It's not even relevant to the argument we were having. You were saying all dark people are black. I'm saying that's not true and if the cops used that as a means to catch people they'd fuck up a lot more than they already do.
