Interesting choice of wording though. If 80% of a minority is engaged in criminal actvity, and if the police "profiled" said minority...would it truly be racist? Or would it be "going with the numbers?"
In Baltimore City, whites are the minority. Yet the overwhelmingly numbers of crimes comitted, either murder, drug related robbery etc are by blacks. Is it racist to state that in Baltimore city blacks commit more of the crimes?
Personally, I am sick of the race card being played out. We read it every day in the paper and see it on the news.
