get real.
Profiling, ethnic or otherwise, is a tried and true tactic long used by law enforcement everywhere.
Scenario..
You are sitting at your kitchen table and a rock comes through your window. You run outside and see
a) A group of older ladies standing to one side
b) A group of young males in the middle
c) A group of middle aged men standing to the other side
Which one are you going to suspect and question first?
Dont get all high and mighty that some get profiled because their peers of the past committed similar actions. It doesnt make them guilty, it merely makes them people of interest.
I suspect if there were photos of bald headed, swastika tatooed men carrying backpacks in some of these photos, they too would be getting the same treatment.....as they should.
