Trump says he is open to racial profiling

Donald Trump yesterday said he is open to racial profiling, touching another raw nerve on the issue of race in America.

African-Americans, Latinos, Muslims and other minorities in US have complained bitterly for decades about the practice in which police use a person's race, religion, national origin or ethnicity as grounds for suspecting them of committing a crime.

His comments came in a discussion on the Orlando massacre by shooter Omar Mateen, who is Muslim. "Well, I think profiling is something that we're going to have to start thinking about as a country," Trump told during a TV program.
