Race and Gender in Media
Racial profiling is the practice of targeting individuals for suspicion of crime based on their race, ethnicity, or national origin rather than any specific evidence of wrongdoing. This practice often stems from stereotypes and preconceived notions about certain racial or ethnic groups, leading to discriminatory law enforcement and social stigmas. It not only undermines trust in law enforcement but also perpetuates systemic inequalities and biases in society.
