Racial profiling is picking someone out for
special scrutiny just because of his or her race.
Linda Chavez has generally opposed to racial
profiling, but she agrees that
airlines use racial profiling.
She think it is wrong and inefficient,
but sometimes that makes sense.
Walid Shter was kicked out from an American Airlin
es plane because he was Arab American even though
he had his official Arab American Secret Service agent
ID.
Also Linda Chavez encountered similar situation
because she looks like Middle Eastern a little bit.
She was humiliated and unpleasant in these
situations but she thought airlines’ act was
reasonable. And it made her feel safer.
• Racial profiling is not acceptable in any case.
• This can be serious discrimination.
• Also there is no subjective distinguishing criterion
between races.
• Even airline, the criteria should be other clue(like
acting, wearing) not just race.
• Plus government should try to prevent from
people using others ID illegally.
