I have conversations in my head about it all the time. There's the voice, when I'm at the airport that says "look, a towel head...terrorist"! Then the other voice says "Sue, just because he has a towel on his head does NOT mean he's a terrorist". We usually go back and forth for awhile but the rational side usually wins.
I honestly don't know how you "end" racial profiling. I can only imagine it would involve extensive community level studies. Town X is 50% white, 50% people of color. The police of Town X pull over or question people of color at a rate of 10 to every 1 white person. Disproportionate. However, people of color in Town X are convicted of 80% of the town's felonies....
It's a good thing I'm not a mathematician/statistician. I wouldn't know what the fuck to do with that kind of information.
