Before the racial profiling law was passed in Arizona, political talk show host Chris Matthews asked Representative Brian Bilbray (R-CA) to explain how law enforcement could reasonably identify undocumented immigrants. Rep. Bilbray’s answer was telling:
“[Police] will look at the kind of dress you wear, there is a different type of attire, there is a different type of — right down to the shoes.”
Yes, the ignorance is astounding, we know. So we thought we’d come up with a quiz to illustrate just how outlandish this idea is (and how racial profiling will necessarily play a role in enforcing Arizona’s new law).
Take our quiz – then tell members of Congress to oppose racial profiling.
