The studies re profiling conflict, and it boils down to a basic prejudice and a government trying to convince its citizens it's doing something. Sure, more black people commit crimes than white people statistically, and more poor people than rich people. There are reasons for this. However, the difference is not large enough to make profiling policies worthwhile, and certainly not when we're trying to create a color blind system of justice. Ostensibly, we are all individuals.
