Racial Profiling Okay?

A recent study shows that most Americans do not have a problem with racial profiling by law enforcement officers. What do you think?

I don't think the police or government should be empowered to do racial profiling. That should be left up to me, when I cross the street to avoid brown people.

Racial profiling just makes sense. But it's also wrong, so I'm torn.

It's always important never to make assumptions, because appearances can deceive. For example, do you really know what race I am? All right, I'm black.
