I think race is completely irrelevant and should be ignored, and anything that would do otherwise better have a damn good reason for existing otherwise it should be prevented or removed. Unless it can be used as an indicator, like black people loitering at night in a large portion of the low income area of town, or the hispanics gangs that roam aroundthe other part of the ghetto-ish area, or teenagers out behind the mall on Friday. Whether or not you like the idea, when they do it where I live, it works damn well till enough people start complaining about how "wrong" it is, then they stop. Which is bad because there is a noticbale increase in all the activities the cops were out to stop.
