questions on issue

The problem is that there is a large issue with racial profiling when law enforcement officials are pulling certain people over due to their appearance and skin color, as well as, dealing with other prejudicial issues.

The people most affected by this problem are those of color and certain races. It is believed that usually those of African American descent are pulled over most frequently. Since the incident of September 11^th, however, there are more occurrences of people of Muslim persuasion and east Indian descent are being more frequently pulled aside in airports and other such public places.

The problem is caused by previous encounters with such ethnicities proving true to the prejudice that most African Americans are involved with more traffic violations and have more drug involvement. When dealing with those of East Indian descent, the issue arose due to the event on September 11^th. Before this occurred, there were at the most 50% of the prejudice that is present today.

There have been many court cases dealing with this situation on profiling drivers of certain ethnicities. Although many of these cases have won and changed the way many law enforcement officers are trained and conduct their business, there is always personal prejudice that is very difficult to deal with and overcome. When dealing with the prejudice against those of east Indian persuasion, it is very difficult due to the fact that we are still involved in a war that is fighting terrorism. This makes the trust very difficult when it is still a valid reason to be weary of the actions certain people are taking.

If this problem is resolved in the future, I believe there would be a lot less hate crimes. I feel that some of the hate crimes committed are due to the fact that a racist action is unjustly taken against someone of color or ethnic influence. I believe that there will be a lot more peaceful situations and a lot less court cases involved with the wrong accusations due to racial influence. I think that there may always be prejudice or at least cautiousness towards those of East Indian descent due to the huge impact that the event of September 11^th had on the U.S. I hope to see the prejudice reduced over the years but there is never any guarantee of complete solutions.

Someone should do something to help solve this problem because I think it would allow for the country to retain more peace and encourage other countries to accept the U.S. as being prejudice free.
