Racial Profiling
Soon after the tragic explosion at Boston Marathon took place, there was an explosion of questioning, who did it and why would they do such a thing? Many of the theories that people were jumping to immediately concerned those of a different ethnicity. Because of the war occurring in the middle east, many have made theories based on middle eastern terrorists. Although there have been events that were at fault by foreign terrorists, is it right to base all acts of terror on those of the middle east? I don't agree with some individuals tendencies to put all blame immediately on other countries. When enough people do this, it offends those who are part of those countries. I believe it's important to keep an open mind in times like these. Fault could be over an ocean or in our backyard, however it's all equally possible.
