Mikal Muharrar, of Extra! defines racial profiling as the discriminatory practice by police of treating blackness or brownness as an indication of possible criminality. Which in fact, has lately been the focus of frequent legal or legislative action, resulting in a significant amount of coverage in the mainstream news media. In contrast, the Daily Illini cites that racial profiling is generally thought of as the targeting of blacks more than whites in traffic stops or accusing blacks of crimes on the basis of race alone. The issue of racial profiling is more complicated than that conception; it can include people of many backgrounds in many different situations. But experts say the line between using race as a sole factor can cause confusion about the definition of racial profiling.
