Racism interpreted by Jared Dublin

Racism is still present in the United States today. An example of this is in Arizona, where police officers have the power to pull someone over on the road and demand the proof of legal citizenship. Jane Brewer who is the governor of Arizona passed this bill and called the AZ Law. I believe that this is pure racial profiling because the police officers are pulling random citizens or illegal immigrants over just because of what they look like. This law basically makes racial profiling legal again. Even though they may be trying to weed out the illegal immigrants of Arizona and other bordering states of Mexico I still believe that they have no right to do such a thing. About 30% of Arizona's legal population is made up of people from Latino heritage, so that means the police officers are harassing legal citizens of the USA.
