When many people think about racism they think about black and white people going against each other. racial profiling.......hmmm people think to pick a race and breaking it down. when I think of racism I think of all races not liking One another, when I think of racial profiling I think of accusing someone of doing something because of their skin color. In today's world, racial profiling is a big thing that happens on the daily from a coffee mug dropping to loud noises on a plane. Imagine you are in a cafe sitting a table , with your laptop on your lap and your hot mocha latte on the table and the coffee shop music playing, and you're just in your zone writing your paper that's due next week. Then you hear a coffee mug drop who do you look a first the Muslim lady or the little kid. Most answers would be the Muslim lady, but no one has been ever honest and says they actually look at the Muslim lady first because they know it's wrong . but back to imaging, the mag hits the ground you and everyone else except a few people look at the Muslim lady. when in reality she was reading a very interesting book and felt all the eyes look at her and got scared and then you turn to your right and see the little kid in the high chair and the mug on the floor. That's racial profiling look a the only Muslim lady in the shop because she is there and you feel she doesn't belong there. also, you're on a plane, relaxing in first class with a hot cup of green tea and a warm towel . on your left there is a name wear a great big coat and is holding it tight and a keeps putting his hand in his pocket and to the left of you is a little old man doing the same . who do you call the flight attendant for the man on your left who is Muslim or the little white Asian man to your right? Most answers are the man to the left, he looks weirder than the man on your right. when in reality the man on your left is an air police with candy stuck in his pocket and the man to your right had booms in his jacket with a tiger in the pocket and is waiting for the right time to blow the ship. Once again it's racial profiling just picking someone you's race you know hasn't caused that much damage to the united states of America doesn't have that bad of a history Lastly, you're in an elevator full of people you have two bags one on your left shoulder one on your right shoulder. But to the left of you there is a black man with a hood on and is holding his hands in his pocket, but also to the right of your there is a white male genital man talking to the crowd and making everyone laugh and is dressed really nice. Which bag do you grab first the left or the rightmost answers is the left because, there is a really creepy black man standing next to you .but in reality the man to your right is a very well trained thief and had taken many valuable things from your bag while still making you laugh and the name to your left is the hotel owner and just came back from a hard workout and his hands is sweaty.once again racial profiling. people usually racial profile on the day and don't realize they are doing it and think its normal, but it's not and things have to change
