Racial Profiling
I was trying to think of a topic to bring up that deals with the subject matter of our class that we had yet to really dive into. A then came upon the topic of racial profiling. This is something that is obvious that it takes place in today's society. But on the other hand it is a subject that might be difficult to get exact numbers due to people's discression. When asking people if they profile others due to their race they may not be as open to admitting to it. Admitting to something like this would show people in a negative light but there are those who are willing to be open about it as well. Regardless how people would feel about revealing their faults, it is something that happens whether they want to admit it or not. Once I had this topic on mind I went looking around on the internet for information dealing with it. I found an interesting sight that had good information on racial profiling. It gives a great definition of it and seven facts that they found. It is worth taking a look at! http://www.amnestyusa.org/racial_profiling/sevenfacts.html -Mary
