How does racial profiling affect other people?

In: History, Politics & Society [Edit categories]

Answer:

How DOES racial profiling affect otherS? The person who is profiled is treated unfairly by businesses, policemen, the court system, neighbors avoid them and think they are criminals when they are not, schools treat them unfairly, they don't get a fair break when it comes to credit, buying a house or a car. They can be mistreated by the medical profession ... such as automatically assuming a black person has a certain disease or does not take care of themselves or other such silliness. Hey even a gay person can be suspected of having AIDS and people will avoid him or her. Racial profiling is a very serious error and is unfair to the people being profiled. Imagine being a dark person who looks like an Arab and he is thought to be a terrorist when really he or she is just a person who cam from India or Mexico or Bolivia? And not all Muslim's are terrorist therefore racially profiling them as being terrorist is grossly unfair. Are you white? Do people profile you as being a Christian and an ugly American and a racist?
