In Ronald Weitzer and Steven A. Tuch's article "Perceptions of Racial profiling: Race, Class, and Personal Belief," they assert that the idea that racial profiling occurs most often when operating a motorized vehicle and is mainly based on preconceived notions towards those of black and Hispanic persuasion. This article displays outside opinions on the idea of racial profiling not only as outside spectators but also of those who have had certain experiences. This is presented in order to show that racial profiling does not only happen to those of African American persuasion, but of many different races, ages, and even genders. These profiles are taken not as the same perspective, such as all being involved with drug trafficking, but very different circumstances. This information is presented through personal experiences as well as many statistics on the previous encounters involving racial profiling.
