DeltaAlum,
Actually Americans do it in a more visible manner. I'll give you an example:
On Labour day, after a long trip from Toronto, they decided to pull us over at the detroit border. He just looked at us, and pulled us over. Mind you, the majority of the people coming back were Caucasians, but the Customs office was filled to the max with just non-caucasian. Then a bunch of Amish looking folks came in, had no documents with them, and one agent (caucasian) let them go, in front of everybody. Another black agent just went off on the guy, talking about this aint right. At the border, they don't really care how obvious they are of pulling all immigrant-looking folks, even if their documents are right.
I have never gotten pulled over when going back to Canada, not once. And I go every weekend.
Also, racial profiling was all the rage before Sept. 11, and it was the young A.A. males.
