I bet the odds are slightly higher than that.
I don't think the post making guesses out loud is the right thing to do, however profiling, racial or otherwise does make sense if the profile is tight enough. Personal privacy and dignity are important, but not as important as stopping bombers.
EDIT: the fact you used so many zero's has me profiling you to be hyper-emotional to the point of being irrational.
