Racial profiling generally affects people with dark skin color and Latino/Mexican people. This is because racial profiling is usually used by police officers on the streets and black or Latino people tend to make up the majority of the criminal population in major countries such as the USA.

Racial profiling generally affects minorities, especially those living in marginalized communities. Most of the individuals who have had experiences with racial profiling are people of colour, especially those who are black. In Canada, first nations individuals are especially profiled based on stereotypes. Some stereotypes that contribute to racial profiling of first nations individuals is that they are drug abusers, abusive, savage etc.

Any action undertaken for reasons of safety, security or public protection, that relies on stereotypes about race, colour, ethnicity, ancestry, religion, or place of origin, or a combination of these, rather than on a reasonable suspicion, to single out an individual for greater scrutiny or different treatment.

One way to amend issues of those who are racially profiled is to make people aware that there is an issue. By making people, especially those in authoritative positions aware of the consequences of their actions they may be able to change their behavior and teach others as well.

acial profiling is prevalent in many areas of law enforcement, health care, government aid and more. Currently, a large portion of racial profiling cases have been in regards to police officers racially profiling individuals at traffic stops and on the road. In these cases, victims claim that officers unlawfully stopped them, with heightened caution solely  based on their race.

The best way to amend the issues by those who are racially profiled is by educating people about the problem and their solution. As we educate younger generation on treating everyone as equals then racial profiling will stop and all the issues along with it since everyone will be seen as equals.

It is an individual's ideals that make them believe and act, hence one's own prejudices and stereotypical thinking is the cause of racial profiling. It is not justifiable as it can have serious ramifications on the victim, their community and relationships between authorities and minorities. For example significant impacts on a victim's psychological state and an unwillingness to identify with one’s community, creating division withing it.

Regardless of what benefits that people think that racial profiling have, I strongly believe that the negative consequences heavily outweigh the supposed "pros". I think that those, including myself, that have not, experience racial profiling cannot understand how hard it is to live life knowing that people see you as a potential "suspect". Rather than feeling safe in a community, people that are racially profiled might feel as if they have enemies everywhere they turn, or that somehow, by the color of the skin, they have become the enemy. In other words, they would be living with fear every day. As to whether racial profiling leads to a safe society, I completely disagree. No where does it say that people of a certain skin color are going to commit for crimes than others. It this can be seen in society, it is only because we, the people who racially profile others, have forced them into that situation. Racial profiling, in no way, leads to a safe society.

In counter argument, there are instances where racial profiling is not what it seems. Many believe, as it is most prevalent in the law enforcement of society that this is apart of training. That officers are taught to card and racially profile minorities. Which is not necessarily the case, there is a method called "behavioral profiling" which is used. Where there are behavioral psychologists that aid law enforcement in finding criminals and suspects.

Racially profiling usually affects minority communities, but there are also cases where people who associate with them (like friends, family, colleagues, etc.) are also suspected.

Racial profiling usually affects minorities and smaller populations of different races. This is because minorities in the past were never given the same opportunities and were then forced to make certain decisions that have now impacted their reputation. While racial profiling have some truth to them, they are not correct and with every passing day, grow to be more inaccurate as everyone is finding opportunity and a place for themselves in our developing world.

I believe that racial profiling is a consequence of one's own prejudices. If an officer stops a driver due to their ethnicity without a reason but simply because of their belief in a stereotype pertaining to the ethnicity of the stopped driver, that prejudice would indeed be the reason for the officer's racial profiling. Racial profiling is not justifiable. In fact, my father with a clean driving record has been stopped by an officer because he is an Asian man that according to the officer looked like another Asian man he stopped once before.  That action is not okay, so my father took him to court and won. Just because a driver is Asian does not mean they can not drive! Also, assuming that one Asian is another or that they all look the same is a stereotype that is offensive to us Asians.

Racial Profiling is definitely predominant in the area of law enforcement particularly when officers make people pull over for unlawful reasons. Even cases of people "pulling a gun" out of their pocket, creating an excuse for the officer to "defend" themselves by shooting them and killing the so called criminal. This is even a common occurrence lately in immigration, especially in the US, as potential immigrants have been filtered out because of the stereotypes of them being "terrorists."

Do you believe it is okay for police officers and other law enforcement officers to racially profile people? (Devaang)

# data[].attributes.body
Racial profiling is when people are targeted due to the colour of their skin. Its a practice done by law enforcement officials of suspecting somebody for have done a crime, with no proof and basis other than their ethnicity.

# data[].attributes.body
No, it is not okay for law enforcement officers to racial profile. Racial profiling is a form of discrimination and is a violation of human rights if an officer feels that they can do whatever they please because the person is a minority. Being racially profiled is a humiliating experiencing and can take a toll on the individual.

# data[].attributes.body
No, it is not okay for police officers or any other law enforcement officers to racially profile people because it puts the minorities in the suspect area without investigation. It affects the person mentally too, knowing that people in law enforcements judge them just based on race.

Specifically in Canada, we are gradually working towards making amends with First Nations and Indigenous peoples due to the cruel mistreatment they have received in the past. Although this is a very slow process, it is becoming less taboo to discuss in a regular conversation. In fact, our school recently held a Truth and Reconciliation seminar; this presentation educated high school students about residential schools and displacement of Indigenous peoples during the last century. The kairos blanket exercise also provided a better understanding about Canadian history with First Nations, which I think is much more effective than learning about it through a textbook. It's important to first acknowledge the issue, discuss the various opinions, and then attempt to fix the underlying problem with the help of others.
