First off, I don't give a **** if my response happens to have a few grammatical errors. Like a lot of people I am responding from work and our server is so slow that I can type 5 words ahead of the blinky line, so if I made a mistake I am not going back to correct it. If thats what you want to bitch about go read a published article. Debate the topic not the grammar, pathetic.

Secondly, thanks for telling me what I'm saying. Why don't you just type for me?

Your welcome any time

You implied that I want to single out everyone of every race just to be fair. I never said that anywhere.

Yes you are, you posted:

Asking the question is wrong. Assuming someone is guilty because of the colour of their skin is wrong. They should be treated fairly until they give reason for otherwise.
I would argue that the stores that profile youth are wrong as well.
And it doesn't matter if there's a choice to shop there. Having to make that choice because of discrimination is wrong. In Canada, we shouldn't have to make that choice

What you are saying is don't suspect anyone unless they have done something personally. That means, EVERYONE should be treated the same. And I don't think I said you said "I want every person singled out of every race" I didn't say that, but by what you say, don't suspect someone just because of the way they look or who they hang out with.....thats wrong....it shouldn't be done here in Canada......

I'm saying that intellegence should narrow down the focus group and go beyond just the way a person looks. For example, a little intellegence can help you tell the difference between a muslim and a sikh. Can you do so?
|
Thats what I have been saying but according to you, that is wrong, don't do it based on colour of skin. Never did I say check EVERYONE....find where I said that.....thats right you can't.....don't talk to me about intellegence buddy.

If people could, they wouldn't have to look at every sikh as if they're an Islamic terrorist when they board a plane. Narrowing in on all brown people, as you don't mind doing is a major waste of resources.

Again please show me where I said that????????? I thought so.

Imagine it? It is the other way around. What do you think we're talking about here? Calgary nightclubs, airport security. They havn't been profiling white people.
|
Bull****, most of their searches are based on random searches or questionable material found on the X-ray machine. I don't know how many times I have see them have 90 year old people take their belt off, and do body pat downs. They even check the pilots of the airplanes for God sakes. Real smart.
As for the bars, I beleive they do base some of their refusals on race but don't tell me only white people can get in. My one buddy quite frequently gets refused because he is over 300 pounds and not the most attractive person around. So it happens to everyone. They want good looking people that have a lot of money to spend, it's as simple as that. Hell even Cowboys brings in models from the USA during stampede just to have them walk around and look good, hoping to attract the big wig office types.

Can YOU imagine if it was the other way around? if we checked every white person who boarded a plane? or didn't let 75% of them into clubs? It wouldn't happen.
|
Thats because white people aren't blowing up planes, boats, building, solidars, trains and every other thing on a regular basis.

Because when a white guy does something stupid (terrorism, murder etc.) it's just 1 guy. When a coloured person does it, it's systemic and people like you get scared and call for profiling.

It usually is. But there are many situations where this is not true. Hells angels, white supremesits, IRA, FLQ, Mafia.
