Pundits all across the political spectrum have been saying that Arizona’s new law cracking down on illegal aliens is unconstitutional. On the news last night I saw the AZ governor saying that racial profiling is illegal and Arizona will not do it or words to that effect.
OK, I get it. Some federal court has held that “racial profiling” is unconstitutional. But what does that mean, exactly?
Does it mean that any criminal profile used by law enforcement, and which has as an element the race of the unknown subject, is “illegal” and unconstitutional? Or are the rules for profiling like the rules for racial discrimination — the profile/discrimination is unconstitutional only if the object of the profile/discrimination is non-white?
I’m guessing that it’s the latter. Picking on whitey is perfectly acceptable, even Politically Correct. Whitey, after all, has it coming.
This is political correctness at its worst.
