Racial Profiling?

[TurboSauce]

This is just something that crossed my mind after watching a video.
I want to see what people's opinion on the subject is before watching the same video I just did.

Didn't watch the video, but I don't need to watch it to know that there will alwas be stupid, short-sighted, and narrow minded people.

I'm a Humanitarian in the most literal sense: humanity is my "religion" if you will. I have a hard time understanding where the concept of racial, cultural, gender, or any other kind of human-subset inequality comes from. WE ARE HUMAN. THIS IS FANTASTIC. I don't see why we can't stop worrying about which "kind" of human and start focusing on being the most amazing damned species we can be.
Diversity is one of Humanity's greatest STRENGTHS.

The hardest thing for me is that people don't seem to be capable of separating the concepts of CELEBRATING diversity versus insinuation of racial superiority. I LOVE being German. It's fantastic. I'm hugely proud of my heritage, my family, and my culture. That doesn't mean I think less of people of other culture or heritage. In fact, if the Italian or Cuban or Russian or Vietnamese guy across the room is any less proud of his heritage than I am of mine, I'd argue that he is doing ALL of Humanity an injustice.

I didn't see the video either, but it really depends on where you are. Let's not forget that there are many people that will use the issue to their advantage and inflate the problem by acting like the world seeks them out to destroy their lives and then whine and scream "profiling" or something similar when they get caught actually doing something wrong.

I work in construction, and I can't tell you how many jobs I've been on where a car has been broken into and had tools stolen because the guy was not hispanic or black like everyone else on site... I know enough spanish to hear the stuff some of the workers say about me or other white guys from my company. It's all about how we have tons of money, take their friends' jobs away, etc. Ugh.

So yeah, I think it happens all the time. Just not only in one direction.
