No your not. Your saying don't pick someone out becuase of the way they look. Intellengence would say focus on the target group.

Using your own example, if we're looking for white sepremesists, should we stop every single white person and question them?

Not every single white person, no. But there is no need to be checking black people. We would check the target group. Younger-middle aged white males. Can you image if it was the other way, and the target group was a minority....oh the public out cry....they are doing it because they are racisit.

Should we have questioned every white kid who went to school after Columbine and Taber, because they fit the profile of a school shooter at that time?

It seems to me that you are not understanding what profiling means. It doesnt mean you question every person of a particular group, it means you focus your resources on that group. It's like rolling two dice, odds are that 7 will be rolled more often then any other combination, so focus your resources on 7. You dont have to eliminate the other possibilities but the closer you get to 2 or 12 the less likely you will roll them...so....focus your attention on number 7.

This seems to be what you favor, but wouldn't that be a huge waste of resources?

As I have stated, it would optimize ones resources.

also, just wondering... What are your thoughts on the Japanese internment?

Not sure what your getting at here...but, if your talking about WWII here in Canada, I think that was a total abuse of human rights and I think that this situation has nothing to do with what were talking about now.
Profiling people and putting people into camps to verify their loyalty or prevent possible corroboration with the enemy at two totally different things.
