Everybody profiles, including the people who claim that profiling is wrong. They just believe that due to their "moral and intellectual superiority" how they profile is good, it's just YOUR profiling that is wrong. Profiling makes sense and not profiling is stupid. That said, it's the profile that makes the difference. If your profile consists of something like black man = bad, then your profile would be synonymous with racism and it would be incorrect; and even if you harbored no racist impulses, the fact that it was incorrect might well cause you plenty of problems. If your profile is: young, black, male, prison tats, outnumbered, night, gas station, possible high crime area, etc, caution is just common sense. Political correctness makes it difficult to say it, but it's a fact that young black males commit crimes in a significant disproportion to their percentage of the population. Whether you are black or white or purple, to disregard this fact when there are other indicators of a plausible threat could potentially put your life in peril.
