Have you ever been detained due to racial profiling?
« on: March 29, 2010, 12:22:37 AM »
Just curious how many people here have been racially profiled at a airport or any other means of transportation.

My dads been detained on a cruise ship because he was mistaken as a Mexican that smuggled on the cruise ship due to his appearance back in 1997.

Also have had some issues at the airport before due to appearance although we do not have Arabic last names.

Anyone else here?
