this "racial profiling" policy

Don't make it sound so bad, like there is a higher agenda to rid us of all arabs. We know that there are terrorists from those countries trying to get in to the US to commit terrorist acts. It would only make sense to keep a closer eye on and focus more of the available resources on someone from one of those countries rather than say a mexican born and raised in Tijuana who just wants to cross the border to steal empegs or find a job, as opposed to possibly wanting to kill thousands of people. It may not be politically correct to treat foreign arabs any different than we'd treat an australian or a dutch, but we know what descent our enemy is, just like in the cold war we'd be more suspect of a russian alien than a british alien.

[analogy]
If the cops put an APB out on a suspect in a black sedan, it may be 'vehiclist' to only pull over black sedans, but it would be ridiculous, and in most cases impossible, to pull over every single vehicle when it would be more effective to only look for black sedans. It doesn't mean the cops have anything agaist people who drive black sedans, nor does it mean it's certain he's not in a different color car; they just know there is a pretty damn good chance their guy is in one. The United States' enemies are arabic, but not all arabs are enemies of the United States. All squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are square.
