Racial profiling certainly occurs. We talked about this recently. There are different degrees of racial profiling. Pulling someone over because they are black and driving a BMW would be acceptable if the cops are looking for a black person driving a BMW. But if they're just bored, it's not an acceptable reason to pull someone over.

But this isn't the point. The issue at hand is an MP claiming to have been racially profiled when the passenger of a car driven by a white guy.

Although it has to be said, Butler is doubling down on this and is insisting the driver isn't white. Let's give her the benefit of the doubt and assume it's Michael Jackson driving the car. How the fuck are the police supposed to be able to tell from the back of some guy's head that he's not white, when footage taken from inside the guy makes him appear white? I appreciate that not all "white" people are ethnically white, but it still doesn't add up that the only reason this car was pulled over was because of race.
