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. ]]> 2018-01-08 19:18:49 UTC https://padlet.com/583904/t90ogiyftmvw/wish/219508690 583904 https://padlet.com/583904/t90ogiyftmvw/wish/219509668 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.]]> 2018-01-08 19:21:03 UTC https://padlet.com/583904/t90ogiyftmvw/wish/219509668 nisha_55 https://padlet.com/583904/t90ogiyftmvw/wish/219509717 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. ]]> 2018-01-08 19:21:09 UTC https://padlet.com/583904/t90ogiyftmvw/wish/219509717 nisha_55 https://padlet.com/583904/t90ogiyftmvw/wish/219511568 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. ]]> 2018-01-08 19:25:27 UTC https://padlet.com/583904/t90ogiyftmvw/wish/219511568 583904 https://padlet.com/583904/t90ogiyftmvw/wish/219514053 2018-01-08 19:30:27 UTC https://padlet.com/583904/t90ogiyftmvw/wish/219514053 583904 https://padlet.com/583904/t90ogiyftmvw/wish/219514260 2018-01-08 19:30:53 UTC https://padlet.com/583904/t90ogiyftmvw/wish/219514260 583904 https://padlet.com/583904/t90ogiyftmvw/wish/219514956 2018-01-08 19:32:23 UTC https://padlet.com/583904/t90ogiyftmvw/wish/219514956 nisha_55 https://padlet.com/583904/t90ogiyftmvw/wish/219515381

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 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.]]> 2018-01-08 23:06:06 UTC https://padlet.com/583904/t90ogiyftmvw/wish/219577032 https://padlet.com/583904/t90ogiyftmvw/wish/220804655 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.]]> 2018-01-11 21:41:57 UTC https://padlet.com/583904/t90ogiyftmvw/wish/220804655 https://padlet.com/583904/t90ogiyftmvw/wish/220984731 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. ]]> 2018-01-12 14:46:17 UTC https://padlet.com/583904/t90ogiyftmvw/wish/220984731 ElizabethAq https://padlet.com/583904/t90ogiyftmvw/wish/221161656 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. ]]> 2018-01-13 04:43:40 UTC https://padlet.com/583904/t90ogiyftmvw/wish/221161656 Madhurie https://padlet.com/583904/t90ogiyftmvw/wish/221258976 2018-01-14 14:23:51 UTC https://padlet.com/583904/t90ogiyftmvw/wish/221258976 Madhurie https://padlet.com/583904/t90ogiyftmvw/wish/221258980 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.]]> 2018-01-14 14:23:53 UTC https://padlet.com/583904/t90ogiyftmvw/wish/221258980 566410 https://padlet.com/583904/t90ogiyftmvw/wish/221267300 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.]]> 2018-01-14 15:46:00 UTC https://padlet.com/583904/t90ogiyftmvw/wish/221267300 559967 https://padlet.com/583904/t90ogiyftmvw/wish/221292389 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." ]]> 2018-01-14 19:36:18 UTC https://padlet.com/583904/t90ogiyftmvw/wish/221292389 739304 https://padlet.com/583904/t90ogiyftmvw/wish/221555857 Racial profiling generally affects people with dark skin color and Latino/Mexican people.

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.]]> 2018-01-20 01:38:49 UTC https://padlet.com/583904/t90ogiyftmvw/wish/222975654
