This iReport is part of an assignment:
Racial profiling: Both sides |
Racial Profiling in the US: A Personal Experience
Racial Profiling in the US: A Personal Experience
Racial profiling still a big issue that needs much attention from the US government before the American society. What happened recently to the African American Harvard Professor is not far from a personal experience I get repeatedly every single time I travel to the US from Canada. Regardless i am driving or flying to the US, the Authority keep treating me like a potential suspect and a person who is likely to be a terrorist- for no good reason and just because I have a Middle Eastern background who happened to be male and young. It’s the same way that the Authority in the US still looking to African Americans as a most likely to be a criminal in Harvard Professors case. It’s the system that needs to be changed, and once its changed people will change.
