I think the common perception is that white people aren’t subjected to (racial) profiling. Stop me if I’m wrong.
But I was watching Cops last night, and I saw a guy get pulled over. I thought “he looks like a criminal.” Maybe I was biased because he was on Cops. But I think if I saw him on the street I would think “he looks like a criminal.”
And he was white.
He was pasty, skinny, wearing baggy clothes, and had a really stupid looking beard. In other words, he looked like white trash and/or Kevin Federline (who strangely enough looks like he is more fit to have custody of his children than his ex-wife).
So I was left to wonder if there are subsets of the white population that receive the same types and levels of profiling as other ethnic populations.
I’ll have to work on that.
