Racial Profiling
I'm not sure if there's a thread concerning this already, but this was the hot topic at my family dinner tonight (yes, there ALWAYS has to be debate over dinner...we can never just eat!!)
My entire family is in favor of profiling Arabs at airports and I was the only one who was completely against it (which makes it hard for me, by far the quietest one in my family, to argue)
Does anyone have any opinions on this? My mom says that while its not ideal, intelligent people of Arab descent should understand why they need to be searched extra, while I say its like government sanctioned racism based completely on September 11th, while the majority of terrorism isn't even in this country. (There's a lot more I have to support my opinion too , but I'm just not going to type it all out!!)
