koan or ted or some liberal here say when they taught a class and an Asian student showed up the first day they said 'well there's an 'A'" when we pointed out that was racial profiling , they said no I'm just using statistics.

But when a cop uses statistics it's racial profiling, such is the liberal mind

happen to think racial profiling makes sense. It's statistics, not racism. To ignore that fact is stupid.

The cop used racial profiling to stop the Latino truck driver. How far did that get him? I wonder how many white people got away with murder because that cop was inforcing a law that had not been implemented yet.

I actually agree with you, Phud. Maybe it needs renaming, "death tax" style. How about "statistical profiling"?

If our TSA employees aren't "statistically profiling" Arab appearing airplane passengers on their own initiative, I'd be very disappointed..
