Racial profiling
Again and again we see on the news or in the paper instances of police accusing or unjustly harassing someone simply because they are a different race, or we see judicial decisions being unfairly influenced by the race of the accused. In the United States we supposedly live by the principle that all men are created equal, but as far as I can see, most people do not live by this principle. I live in a building where several people of different races also live. Here there are: Koreans, a Puerto Rican, a Hispanic, an Arabian, and blacks. When I first moved in, it would never have crossed my mind to think less of them because they were different than me. I think racial profiling is completely unfair. Unfortunately, I don’t think it will ever change. There will always be ignorant individuals who view race as an indicator of guilt. To find out what kind of views and experiences other people have had, I talk to several of the people in my building. I spoke with Steve (Hyo-Sang) my Korean roommate, Ahmed, an Arabian from upstairs, and DeMico, a black who also lives upstairs. When I talked to Steve, I found out basically what I had expected. Steve told me he didn’t really ever experience racial profiling.
he told me. One night he and a few friends (who were also black) were just driving around in Hammond, Indiana when they pulled up next to a they will be successful because other efforts haven’t taken, and racial profiling still persists. I would like to be able to say that’s where the problems ended, but unfortunately when I spoke with DeMico I found that he has also dealt with several cases of racial profiling. The worst of which being the 10 minute story experienced every day prejudices, which I think goes hand in hand with racial profiling. He’s walked past people and heard them making typical Asian jokes. I think prejudices however are something that everyone has had to, or will have to deal with at some point in their lives. He also made sure to add how ignorant he thought racial profiling and racism was in general.
