Sounds like a big pissing contest to me.

Would a cop "racially profile" an "uppity" black man? Possible. Happens every day.

Would a Harvard professor of ANY color be peeved that a mere (as mentiioned by another poster-"double-digit IQ moron") was confronting him? Possible. I'm sure that happens every day too.

That being said, yes of course profiling still exists. Both ways.

Just think what might have happened had this been Cornell West and not Gates. I'm an admirer of both BTW. Rap on Cornell!!!
