Yahoo! News - Study: Racial Profiling a Growing Problem
WASHINGTON - Authorities' targeting of people because of their racial background or religious affiliation is a deep-rooted problem in the United States, with nearly 32 million people reporting they've been racially profiled, a human rights group said Monday.

The report by Amnesty International USA also said at least 87 million people — one in three — in the United States are at high risk of being victimized because they belong to a racial, ethnic or religious group whose members are commonly targeted by police for unlawful stops and searches.

Racial profiling is a growing problem as the government has expanded its war on terror, the report said. Police, immigration and airport security procedures are the areas where the problem has gotten worse since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, it said.

A sad result of 9-11, and it will only get worse as Bush continues to piss off the world, create more enemies, and keep our fear level set on high. Is this the kind of country you want America? I guess if you are white, Christian, and straight you have nothing to worry about, right?
