Racial Profiling – How It Affects People in the US

Hello everyone, I have a difficult topic to discuss and a request for you. I need to write an essay about racial profiling and the way it influences people in the US. The problem of racial profiling is a pressing one, and we need to approach it with caution and genuine care if we want to succeed in getting rid of it. Unfortunately, that is a global issue that affects people all over the world, but for this essay, I would like you to focus on the US and the way it harms people across the country.

What I would like you to do is not to focus on a single ethnic group. There are people of all possible races living in the US, and all of them could be racially profiled under certain circumstances. Even white people can be subjects to that, even though in a much smaller proportion. You might be surprised, but there are proponents of racial profiling in academia and law enforcement. These people would say that if black people commit like 50% of all crime in the US while constitution just 13% of the population, it means that racial profiling is fully justified. Well, the statistics might not be in favor of my ideas, but I would like you to talk about racial profiling being faulty.

There are millions of people in the US who represent different races, and I would not want the police to profile people by the color of their skin and presume an average black person is more prone to commit crime than an average white person. In your writing, I would like you to focus on the individual rights of people and that the police should not keep the idea of some people being more likely to commit crimes than others when approaching their cases. Unfortunately, if you put a black man and a white man under suspicion, the cops would be more likely to work against the black man and be biased in favor of a white guy. That is true, and I want you to elaborate on that problem, give some facts to support the idea, and give a strong criticism of racial profiling in your writing. This has to be a powerful piece that debunks the proponents of profiling and describes how this practice is outdated and completely wrong.
