The semantics are different, but in practice I think that it would tend to merge into the same thing (and I'm not picking on you, yours was just the most recent post when I decided to throw my 2 cents in).
I would like to think that it would be "safer" to be able to racial profile, but I get the uneasy idea that the end results would be worse than minor possiblity that exists today.
