Not only is it wrong, most folks can't even perform racial profiling correctly. Maybe 100 years ago you could take someone's appearance, last name and origin as an indication of race, religion and language. But give it up folks! With a spanish last name, a west-indian appearance, born and living in Canada, you'd have a hard time guessing I'm muslim... or am I? Mind you, every time I've flown Delta in the last 6 months, I've been a "SELPAX". Mind you, it probably has more to do with the fact my ticket has always been paper, been issued by a non-american carrier and includes 8-9 segments on 4-5 airlines.
