You are not trying to claim that police do not racially profile minorities are you?
They don't, actually. Many factors contribute to initiating contact with a person or group of persons. Literally the only time ethnicity would play into that decision is if a group is in a totally out of place location. For example, if you see a car load of white kids in a "black neighborhood" you might find their being there suspicious. Other factors, such as their body language and reaction to noticing law enforcement would further contribute. Ethnicity, on it's own, is not a determining factor. Are there LEO's that harbor racist feelings? Sure, but they are a significant minority, nor are all of them from one specific ethnic group. Oddly enough, as LEO's are human beings they have the same issues that everyone else does in this regard.
Let me ask you something in this vein. Between a group of Hispanic adult women and a group of white teenage boys, who would first attract the attention of law enforcement?
