My two cents. In general I don't approve of racial profiling, but in some cases the unease with profiling (note that I'm not talking about discrimination) just makes good sense. If your the police looking for a young white male who jusy murdered his girlfriend what sense would it make to leave out his race in the APB, just to have Blacks and asians looked at as potntial suspects? Subsitute black or asian in that last question and you get the same answer.
Suspicion because of age and race is not the same as discrimination in other things where it simply isn't warranted. Plus it should not be used as the sole criteria. The guy padilla that they caught in a bombing plot was hispanic.
