Do white people get racially profiled by the police.?
When I was younger growing up in a predominately white neighborhood I was followed and stopped for no reason. I wonder if the same thing happens to white people in minority areas. I guess it could be assumed that you are only there to buy drugs. Also the typical John is a middle aged white guy.

Oh absolutely. I used to work in Downtown Los Angeles and every so often the freeway would be closed, so I would drive through areas that are predominantly African American. Driving my nice luxury car, I got pulled over every other time it would happen by police. I think they assumed I was there to buy drugs. However, I always had my work badge on me and explained that I was driving home because the freeway was closed, so I was allowed to go on my way.

Yeah, you're right about the whole "white people in minority areas" thing, but even then it isn't nearly as common as being stopped for a DWB.

Yes, especially if you are a loud, violent, dirty junkie. That will get you hauled away no matter what color you are.
