racial profileing?

we all decided racial profileing is wrong. I agree with this.

is origin based profileing okay in anyone’s mind? can we investigate people from afganistan a little tiny bit more than people from say… france? like for visas and air travel and such? is that terribly wrong? I’m asking seriously.

its not muslums that are bad. its certain people… who come more often from certain countrys. we have no japanese people attacking us currently. or people from spain or bolvia or russia or alaska or west africa or atlantis or timbucktoo.

I strongly belive that most middle eastern people are NOT terrorists… but I also belive pretty well that for this time … most people who are terrorists are in the middle east. white… tan… black… purple or pokadot skin… not applyed all through history… or all of the future… just… today and tommarow and next week… and next month till things seem calmed down?

just I was talking like this once… and someone was treating me like I was Hitler… am I really really blind? being such way really worrys this owl.

its not the race that makes me worry. its the fact… terrorists that are our enemy right now… live in 5 or so countrys… in general. white people that want to help terrorists move there (the american kids on the news).

just till the threat is definitly passed? is it really a bad idea to check out people flying in from countrys that are known to harbor terrorists… make visas a little bit harder to get for the time being?

am I being racist? I really don’t want to be… but… I know… if we are a bit tougher letting in people from a certain area… like the middle east… that it most WILL mean actting diffrent to a diffrent race. but I think… if terrorists attack again… they probobly will be freinds of osama… and he isn’t liveing in canada… or australia.

is it wrong to feel safer if the plane that just came in from afganistan was given a bit of a more careful baggage check than the plane from england? and if untill we stop fighting… if we make sure that background checks are a bit more exclusive to people from countrys that we know for a fact… has people that want us dead?

I believe this ought to go to GD, but…

Profiling is a way to ease some people’s nerves. Once you start focusing on people if they come from X country, or behave Y way, it’s easier for the terrorists to circumnavigate the security measures. If you start being suspicious of people from Afghanistan, fake a Turkish passport. If you start being suspicious of anyone who looks fundamentalist(don’t ask me how that looks), go around dressed as a priest.
