Racial profiling
Yesterday I got on a crowded train to be in time for a training meeting at work. I looked around at the seated passengers and stood next to a mixed race woman. I hoped she would step off at Oakland, a black dominated area. Sure enough, she did and I was able to have a seat for the last 15 min of my ride. Have you guys employed racial profiling or formed an initial opinion on someone based on their race?

Re: Racial profiling
well, i don't drive but some guys in the family drive and they told me that if they see someone in a vw beetle or a prius they know they can cut in from them or be rude to them. that's why if you want respect on the road you have to drive an audi q5 in black preferbaly the non-hybrid or a bmw also in black. but my heart is set on a vw beetle, i wish i could drive it in a different color everyday - one day apple-green, another day orange, sometimes black. but even my mum says that's a little old lady's idea of a car. the good news: i don't need a car and the last time i was in the driver's seat was when i was 18. so there is such a thing as car-profiling which might be as useful as racial profiling in traffic situations.

who gave you this stupid(est) idea?
If you want respect on the road, then drive a twice beat up car - any model, preferably American.
Trust me...not a singe car (BMW, Merc, Audi, oHaiyooondai Verna) will mess with you.

Re: Racial profiling
i am not sure that it is racial profiling. RP is usually is a discriminatory practice by law enforcement officials of targeting individuals for suspicion of crime based on the individual's race. what you described is perhaps bias in a weird way without a negative connotation, demographic in nature based on race.
Nevertheless, that happens a lot at work, esp when hiring for tech positions. there is a tendency to hire a certain race for such positions. good or bad, i don't know but no one seems to mind.
Have a wonderful weekend. I am hitting the beach.

I hear people who are dancers have great bodies and naturally look fantastic in bikinis - not that I am profiling.

Your idea?.....ok....Just wanted to confirm in your words.
I am glad that everyone goes by facts and not just by trusting...
So what did you learn in today's rotation? your favorite Condyloma Acuminatum or your other favorite Vitiligo?
