Logic Test - Profiling

I recently received an article from a reader in Saskatoon on the evils of racial profiling. At the risk of offending one of my only readers, here are my comments on this:

During interviews, IQ tests, etc, invariably you are asked logic questions like: If a Widget is Panjay and a Panjay is a Gannet, are all Gannets Widgets? This is how I look at profiling whether it be racial, sexual, religious etc. If a KKK/neo nazi member is a Christian, are all Christians bigoted? If an Al Qaeda member is a Muslim, are all Muslims extremists? Of course not. So why then do people assume that if someone uses racial profiling, they are a racist. It is generalizing that is the problem, not subsetting.

Seriously, if you were looking for a neo nazi scum who had committed an atrocity, would you ensure that you checked a percentage of the black population? If you were looking for a serial rapist of women, would you ensure that you checked a percentage of women to look politically correct? If you were searching for terrorists at the airport, would you search a Catholic nun? It is obvious that assumptions cannot be made however logic prevails. The politically correct are sending people on a wild goose chase so as not to appear racist, etc.

Profiling is not bigoted but Generalizations are. Profiling is not racist but I am sure that all racists profile AND generalize. If you were profiling a racist, you may want to check profilers to be practical. I would not have a problem with that.

P.S. I do stand by my generalization, however, that all socialists/leftists are extremely misguided. My bad.

Addendum: I am completely against racism of any kind, religious prosecution etc. I feel so strongly that equality is a fundamental value that I hope, if need be (although I'd hate to have to prove it), I would risk my life to combat. The neo-nazis, KKK, Taliban, Islamic extremists etc are the bigots in every way and are the bullies and terrorists of the world. Their hatred is such that I believe war is the only option to combat them and keep our freedom.
