There we go, and mean willing to admit the truth. Profiling helps figure out who the bad guys are.

Let me clarify. When one is dressed like a gang banger, he's more likely to hit me over the head than the guy who's in a suit. This is true regardless of color. Statistically speaking, a black guy is more likely to hit me over the head than a white guy. Crime stats prove this.
This is an odds thing, or a likelyhood thing, and it's true over the long haul and it is only a predictor. When I meet an individual, I'm open to learn about that person and become friends with one regardless of color. If one hits me over the head, however, I will reject the opportunity of friendship immediately.
Again, I realize that that you disdain some truths.Quote

But actually, racially prejudiced is a much better term because it's self-describing: to pre-judge based on race, right? So Boilerman, by advocating racially profiling by police, you are not only justifying racial prejudice, you want to codify it into law.
