I don't really know. It seems to me that anything that involves the government, people don't know much about it. I think that government is hiding something and probably one of them is racism because of what you said; because of racial profiling. I don't think it matters what our race is so there's no point of racial profiling.

I don't think so because the Canadian government is not racist. If the government here was racist then why would they allow people from all over the worl to immigrate to Canada. People say that the Canadian government wants to increase the population in Canada, and if the government was racist then they would allow white people only and not balck, brown etc. So, I think that the government of Canada is not racist and I don't know about any other countries. I think that the American government has become a bit racist because after the 9/11 attck the number of people immigrating to USA from Asia has decreased. So, I think that it depends on the situation of the government and the country whether the government is being racist or not.

Lol, you think racial profiling is what's racist about the government>>!!??
There's one name for that and it's not racism, it's Homeland Security.
I'd rather be pulled over on the side of the road because I'm black, than know that some highschool dropout is going to take my place at a university because I'm white, and he's a minority.
I'll tell you what's racist--the government paying large universities to accept more applications from minorities, and put the more efficient workers on the second list.

There has never been much racism in the government and high offices of the United States. Historically this can be observed and is quite obvious.
The civil war which's catalyst was a presidential abolishment of slavery.
The civil rights movement, which's riots and marches have had numerous governmental security arrangements.
Los Angelos even approved slavery reperation back in the late 90's I believe.
What I think you are confusing is the west wing of the white house, with the red neck renegade troopers of southern Alabame.
