No, it's not. He was picked because he set off explosive detectors. Repeatedly.
The racial opinions of the person asking the questions doesn't change the fact that this is not racial profiling.
- icambron 13y agoThe question is not why he was "picked" to be investigated. The question is why he was kept so long even after it was determined that he did not, in fact, have explosives, and why he was questioned at such length and aggressiveness. The opinions of the people interrogating him are precisely what determine that, as explained by the actual person interrogating him. It really couldn't be any more straightforward.
