[TR24208]

Although it might seem justified for certain groups of people to get profiled in stores, usually there are no real basis for prejudices against them. For instance, the profile of the typical shoplifter is a white, suburban, middle-class housewife. Yet these people are rarely ‘spied on’ when they enter stores. This is not fair at all. It is unfortunate that people rely on stereotypes to form judgements, but there is a difference between getting unfair treatment due to things you can help (dressing like a ‘hood’, for instance) and things you can’t help (like race). So racial profiling, whether in stores or on the NJ Turnpike, is cut-and-dry racism. And it’s cut-and-dry wrong, period.
