Profiling isn't racist--so long as you're not profiling by race. If you are profiling by race, well, for one thing, you're certainly not using common sense.
You're arguing with a guy who believes every right wing lie about Muslims. Let it go, he doesn't care about facts.

This is neat but kinda of perplexing for this site. Liberals are the reason for this nonsense when we should be profiling. Giving that this is a predominantly liberal site whose members support this government nonsense, this post is confusing. Is the Left now poking fun at itself?
That depends entirely on the sort of 'profiling' you're talking about. As discussed in the "Welp" thread in CE, most of us are in favor of intelligent profiling. But, hey, if you want to take the position that not being a racist is a liberal thing, go for it.
Also, blaming liberals for the TSA is hysterical.
Nope, nice spin though. Profiling is not racism. It's common sense. No shit about the TSA. We all know The "evil" Bush created that. I was referring to the policies.
You do know there is a difference between RACIAL profiling and BEHAVIOR profiling, don't you? I mean, it's pretty simple. One of those looks for people of a certain racial or ethnic group, the other looks for people who are behaving in a certain way that might indicate some future action.
