Racial Profiling November 25, 2002 Have you ever walked down a street and judged a person based on the way he or she looked? This is, what we know today as, Racial Profiling. Racial Profiling is the act of looking at a person and deciding racially if a person is good, bad, right, or wrong. Is racial profiling the right way to judge a person and or country of a different race, due to the factors of today’s society and on our many worldly views, based on equality of many races and their actions. The aim of this paper is to view the fact of racial profiling as a combination of judgment and equality of rights of different countries and people, but also how it is measured whether or not by the way they act. Many main topics are discussed about this tragic point such as racial and equal rights, judging certain people based on others actions, and making decisions about countries or groups based on their leaders actions. Morally it is not right to judge a book by its cover, so therefore, it is not right to base your opinion of a person strictly because of their looks. There are many different views of today’s society and no two people have one alike. A lot of people think certain someone’s should not have the same equality of rights as them. One of the many factors of racial profiling is local, state, and national law enforcement. Many studies through the history of a few years has proved what many have known for decades: law enforcement agents of all levels consistently use race, ethnicity, national origin, and religion when choosing which individuals should be stopped and searched.
