C - racial profilng is like stereotyping. For example police might assume African Americans are more likely to steal or commit crimes and target those neighborhoods while white neighborhoods are more trusted and patrolled less which leads to more African Americans being arrested which continues the belief that they're more likely to commit crimes.
