I should clarify when I mean "judge them based on statistics" I don't mean automatically assume that all natives are dropouts or that all polaks are unemployed.

I meant that as in, maybe if you're interviewing candidates for a job that requires a high school diploma, you ask a native applicant for a copy of his diploma where as in other situations you wouldn't.

That probably comes off as racist, but lets say hypothetically (this is a rough example) verifying diploma's is a costly task. Is it wrong to use statistics to save money?

Edit: I've been interested in starting a thread on profiling for a while after reading an article about the airport in israel. I just didn't want to start another gong show thread when we already have this one
