But in that case there was a witness providing a descripition: you're talking about pulling over 300lb white guys every time a car is stolen.

If that's all profiling will be, they do that with everyone already, what's the point in profiling?lowing wrote:

No, racism is the belief that one race is inherently different to another.lowing wrote:
Racism is a belief that one race is superior to another.
And my point, along with that of many others, is that it wastes resources and will simply mean that terrorists will use operatives who do not fit the profile.lowing wrote:
That is not what profiling suggests, and you know it. In the case of profiling for terrorists, race is used as a descriptive, along with 100 other descriptives. It is NOT used as a reason.
50% of Australians interned at Guantanamo Bay are white. I only know of one high profile terrorism arrest in Australia, and it was a white guy.lowing wrote:
It just so happens that Islamic, Middle Easterners are the ones threatening us now, so it makes no sense to look for, or suspect 80 year old white women.
1..Better double check your facts Bubbalo.......It is not racist to acknowlege 1 race is different than another, only inferior or superior.......Races ARE different, or they wouldn't be races, now would they?Bubbalo wrote:

2. Hmmmmmm, then how exactly did they foil all of the latest terrorist attacks if profiling is a waste of time??
3...Well then you are doing nothing more than reinforcing my point, they are interned at GITMO and are WHITE?? Sure doesn't sound like a RACE issue to me then.
