No they are completely stupid.

You make a mistake, dazzleman.  Most racist white people support racial profiling.

There really isn't a legitimate basis to regulate behavior on the basis of race or gender.

Why?  Blacks are, if I recall correctly, something like four times more likely as whites to commit crimes.  If we're working on the basis of statistical likelihood, that's a rather strong one.

They're four times more likely to get caught.

You're burying your head in the sand, Ebowed.

Would you care to inform me how having darker skin automatically predisposes someone towards criminal behavior?

Ebowed, stop being deliberately obtuse.  We all know the statistics.  As to why that is, there are a myriad of reasons, but somehow I don't think you're really looking for an answer to that.

You're looking for me to deny an obvious fact, and that's not something I am willing to do.  Problems don't get solved by denying obvious facts.

It is an obvious fact that criminals are disproportionately more likely to be black.  They are also even more disproportionately more likely to be male, as well as poor.

I am simply arguing that correlation does not necessarily equal causation.  My question still stands: what about dark skin color, exactly, predisposes someone towards criminal behavior?  If you think that by proposing this question I am denying an "obvious fact," I'm interested to know how.
