But we are talking about profiling one of those two groups.

We're not talking about profiling terrorists, because we can't actually identify them by appearence. So the suggestion is that it is an acceptable negative to profile the 1.2 bilion Muslims or the over 300 million Arabs in order to identify the .00001 percent of those groups who are criminals.

I still do not see why we think there is going to be a positive result in implementing such a tactic when we won't even discuss the profiling of the 20 - 40 million white males aged 40 - 60 in this country who are more likely to steal billions and billions of dollars from innocent, naive people.

Why is it not an acceptable negative to profile that group? Less people are negatively impacted and more results are likely (simply due to the higher degree of white collar crime vs. terrorist attacks).

Let's start with Ustwo.
