New York City has large populations of Hispanics and Southern Europeans (Italians, Greeks, Jews, etc.), some of whom resemble Middle Easterners. Additionally, there are many Black Muslims among the city's large African American population, as well as substantial numbers of South and Southeast Asians, some of whom are Muslim. Other than the Northern European (Irish, British, German, etc.) and Northeast Asian (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) minorities, the rest of the Big Apple's population could be profiled. Profiling on race alone may not work there.

The issue of race, and profiling is one of the most sensitive things here.

And the politicians are very quick and eager to get involved in race while attacking the NYPD.

Remember, this is the same city where Al Sharpton lives.

Well, not to mention that any terrorist group with half a brain is busy recruiting caucasians & women to carry out their evil deeds.
