Roger Clegg Opposes Racial Profiling ...

... even in Arizona. But then, Roger notes, ?the Arizona law has already been changed so that, on its face at least, it bans racial profiling,? though he adds that the manner in which it will be enforced still remains to be seen.

Roger takes issue with a column by Jonah Goldberg that, in my view, does a superb job of pointing out the hypocrisy of liberals who abhor racial profiling by the police but heartily endorse it when done by admissions officers, employers, etc. (now where have we heard that before?) ? not for that well-done point but for Jonah?s view that ?that the two positions aren?t that analogous.?

Read both, make up your own mind, and then stick with that view until and unless it diverges from what is argued here.
