More Racial Profiling
A new report from Amnesty International describes that how racial profiling has become a big problem for many people here in the U.S.:
The report by Amnesty International USA also said at least 87 million people -- one in three -- in the United States are at high risk of being victimized because they belong to a racial, ethnic or religious group whose members are commonly targeted by police for unlawful stops and searches. Racial profiling is a growing problem as the government has expanded its war on terror, the report said. Police, immigration and airport security procedures are the areas where the problem has gotten worse since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, it said.
My observation: racial profiling does not seem to register with most Whites as a big problem because they’re not the ones who are being targeted for prejudice and discrimination. In other words, the more things change, the more they stay the same.
