Your position has actually reached the point that it's making me laugh.
Quote:Racial profiling is treating people differently based on their race. The fact that it is based on deeply ingrained racism does not change the fact that it is still racial profiling.
Racial profiling is a conscious decision, especially when it is policy, which is the crux of our entire argument. You are not racially profiling anyone if you are acting on subconscious biases. You've now turned this into a semantic argument which means further discussion is unnecessary. But please have the last word if you feel the need.
