The more accurate analagy is for the cops to say "Black guy in a Black Sedan" - thats racial profiling.

If, as you say, the cops simply say "Black Sedan" - thats ok.


Well the cops do say "black male suspect", and at that point the cops only look for black males to find their suspect. It's not racial profiling; it's just common sense. Racial profiling would be saying that since a higher percentage of blacks in the US commit more crimes than whites, that blacks shouldn't be allowed to own guns at all. Statistically, it may bring down crime, but it's not fair. If using the color of someone's skin to describe them physically is racist, what's next? Heightism? Hairism? Eye-colorism? Finger-printism?


the next step will be for all Arabs to have wear "Red Crescent" badges, and then ...

That will never (or shouldn't) happen to US citizens. Keep in mind that people visiting here are only visitors, who have to abide by special rules, and who can turn around and leave anytime they want or they can also choose not to come at all. The host sets the rules and the guest decides whether or not he wants to visit and abide by those rules. So if the US ever did require any visitors to wear anything, they would be wearing it by their own choice. I don't think having anyone wear a red crescent badge would do anything other than possibly publicly humiliate or aggravate the person wearing it, and I think it would be an extreme measure that isn't necessary.

Racial profiling against a country's own citizens is wrong, since it violates their own basic rights, but "racial profiling" (as long as it is to be expected) against visitors to maintain safety is okay. Since these people have no legal right to come here at all, and since they are here by their own choice and at our will, it does not violate their basic rights. If they don't want to abide our rules, they don't have to come play.

If you want a superpower to pick on about human rights policy, take a look at China.
