1. WHAT DOES RACIAL PROFILING MEAN TO YOU?
It means people are not being treated as equals like how we were all taught in grade class. Alot of things we are told now have been told to us back in elementary but people don't listen, do they? but anyways, racial profiling to me is, being judged and stereotyped by the way that you look.
2. HAVE YOU EVER BEEN RACIALLY PROFILED, AND IF SO HOW?
Everysingle day! Whether it be the white lady at the Nugget grocery store to the cops patrolling elk grove nieghborhoods. Cus I drive a honda, dipped low, but not way low, means that I'm a drag racer? I got rims and I'm asian! so it AUTOMATICALLY means I am a racer? But once they got 5 cop cars stopped me, when i just got some jack in the box with the lady heading home in a nice suburb area. Get out of the car now!!!!! I was kinda shocked, didn't think I did anything wrong at all. So I rolled down my windows like i usually do when pulled over, check to see if i got anything showing that shouldn't be, turning my music off, and i hear...let me see your hands out the car!!!!! don't move!!!! reach out the car and open it with one hand with the other still showing!!! I was pissed but i knew not to get them racist cops going cus they'll shoot me. I seen them foo's shoot someone when he was standing there with his hands up surrendering. fucked up! but anyways, Got out the car, had to back up backwards towards them, got handcuffed, i was trying to ask questions like, the ,"what did i do?" one. but they hushed me and straight up told me to shut up and don't say nothing. checked me, said my car was stolen and they got calls from nieghbors of street racing or whateva. I knew they was profiling, i had a bag full of food, my girl shivering cus it was cold, she just got questioned on where we were going. They eventually let me go knowing i didn't do nothing to begin with. I was just trying to go home cus i got something to eat with the lady. But damn! 5 cop cars, atleast 5 cops had their guns straight pointed at me! no good. racially profiled? you be the judge!
3. WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE PATRIOT ACT AND DO YOU THINK IT AFFECTS CERTAIN RACES MORE THAN OTHERS?
Not really sure about this one. Don't want to look into it either.
4. HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU BEEN CALLED A RACIAL SLUR, AND WHAT DID YOU DO?
I don't know how many times. If i know who they are and how they are and they say some racist jokes or whateva I don't get offended. I laugh if it's funny. if not, i still laugh at them cus it's not funny. Racism is serious, but sometimes people don't mean it to hurt someone. You can tell when someone is purposely saying some racial things because they mean it. I just shrug it off usually cus I try not to stoop to people's level. But sometimes if the buttons being pushed way too many times, i get ignorant just like the rest of them and won't handle myself in a respectable manner. haha
5. HAVE YOU EVER JUDGED SOMEONE BASED ON THEIR RACE?
No, I judge people by character. one note-people judge me based on race but most of the time they don't even know my exact race. stupid!
6. WHATS YOUR OPINION ON THE RODNEY KING INCIDENT, WAS IT STANDARD POLICE PROCEDURE OR WAS THERE SOMETHING ELSE BEHIND HIS BEATING?
Brutality is not procedure.
7. WHAT RACE DO YOU BELIVE HAS IT BETTER THAN THE REST , AND WHY?
White
8. WHICH RACE HAS IT THE WORST, AND WHY?
Indians. The one's oversea's, not the real indians.
9. WHATS YOUR OPINION ABOUT THE POLICE AND THE ACCUSATIONS THAT THEY ARE GUILTY OF RACIAL PROFILING?
Definitely true, I think they are trained to judge people by their characters but often they turn that into racial profiling. It's a thin line and they cross it every time! most of the time.
10. HOW DO YOU THINK YOU ARE LOOKED UPON BY OTHER PEOPLE, IN A POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE MANNER IN REGARD TO YOUR RACE?
Most of the time negative. No need to explain this one. tired of typing.
