Hey, I just wondered who of you out there feel like you are being profiled because of your religion,clothing,hair,schooling,etc. I'm a Christian,I don't wear 'stylish clothes', I keep my hair long [anywhere fromthe middle of my back to my waist],I'm also homeschooled and many kids think I'm stupid because of it. Please reply and let me know how you deal with this... and if you think I'm actually stupid.
I'm profiled because I take honor classes. People think I automatically know the answer to every outrageous question they throw at me. "But oh em gee, you're in HONORs!" In the same vein, I'm profiled because when I'm in my honor classes, I don't give a shit. I don't make straight A's and I certaintly don't devote my life to studying. My fellow honor kids think I'm lazy and stupid. "Oh em gee, why are you in honors again?!!" It doesn't really bother me all that much. I have my own misconceptions about people, so I'm no better.
Why make it sad to be gay? Doing your thing is okay. Our body's our own, so leave us alone. And play with yourself today.
sorry if i'm making ur troubles sound like less than they are but man you have it easy. i have a friend who is Muslim and try walking down the street with a ha jab on. she gets called a terrorist an Antichrist and so much more crap seriously. one time her house got vandalized by a couple of KKK wannabes. now i don't believe all Christians are like that cause i believe in Christ and i don't act like that but seriously be thankful.
quite frankly, i DONT tihnk your stupid. i think everyone else is. just because you dont have cute clothes and a good haircut doesnt make you a bad person. and having those things doesnt make you a good person either. profiling by appearances is a sign of a growing problem in this country. IGNORANCE.
I think everyone is in some way...unless you live away from civilization in a cave...And I don't think you're stupid. Sometimes it isn't a choice to be how you are.
I think this topic is quite ridiculous. Of course you are profiled based on what you're wearing, or how your hair is. Those are actions you take. The problem with issues like racism or sexism is that people don't choose their color. You choose your clothes knowing full well the perception they create. You choose how to do your hair. It's only logical to base your assumptions of someone on their actions.
I'm profiled as "ice-cold." I got over the dream of a high school love affair some of my peers pursue with relish, and am seriously uninterested in the boys at my school. I dress in more professional clothing, keep a perfect GPA with plenty of ambition as a sidedish, don't let people mess around with me, and I'm plenty fine with keeping my hands to myself and my pants on. So now I'm considered a frigid bitch, and I magically no longer have a heart. What happiness is mine. Some people have also cataloged me as "one of those damn lesbians" and thus not as good as them. I have no problem with lesbians, and I hate the "better than thou"-ness of all of it, but it makes me mad that not wanting a boyfriend in highschool means that you must be lesbian!

Acceptance is a huge problem these days. People don't like you because your religion is 'different' or you wear something that isn't 'the norm'. Well define different. The only thing that is different about someone else is that they are different from you. Who are we to dictate what is normal in our society, when what we think is normal is biased to our own views. Yet somehow differences are wrong, and that is very sad indeed.

hello my name is zahra and i just wanted to say hi and that i kinda know what your going through cause i am middle eastern.But my mom doesnt force me to wear a hijab people tell me to go back to my country and things like that but i just brush it off because everyone is a immigrant to this country expect for native americans.
Yes I do, I wear black because I like the color, I dont think that I am 'Emo' or 'Gothic' I think I am just being myself and people say that I look depressing and all that. Im just glad that I dont look like a hussie or something like that. I am being myself and thats all I care about.
i'm sure that i have been profiled many times but just one time so farr to my face i was at a party and a gild started purposly started swearing beacuse i had asked her not to i am also profiled because of the fact that i am homeschooled it's not that they think that i am stupid i am accually a freak beacuse i'm smart and because i don't have any frinds that they know
If you want to do the fun stuff, you have to go through the hard stuff
i feel your pain. as long as i've gone to private school. I've been called an oreo. just because i wasn't like everybody else. we have some things in common. i_love_my_life08@yahoo.com
I live my life the way I want. I don't care who doesn't like it.
I'm wiccan but I don't tell those who'll judge or violate it. But even that, I was still seen in Elementry School as a Satanist since all I wore was black trench coats and black wavy pants and black boots. I use to sit in recess alone with a few kids that looked out of place while reading or writing. And yeah, labels, profiles and so on will never change. It's just human nature if you think about it.
I dislike that the majority of people believe that atheists are no good punks who worship the devil on black sundays or whatever, and are unintelligent and go about shooting people and listening to marylin manson.
A very exagerated stereotype, but you know, it happens.
And besides, you don't believe in satan if you're atheist.
Yeah, atheists are profiled all the time, but then so are radical christians, and every other which way why and who.
It's just a matter of opinion, but I think absolutely everyone has profiled someone and will be profiled if they haven't been yet, but if you say you haven't, you just didn't know about it...
Why don't we all just stop the profiling and cover the earth with love and adoration?
(It's been a long day....)
Democrats are way sexier. Have you ever heard of a nice piece of elephant?
im profiled as a "loser." Because i have somewhat good grades, and i dont wear stylish clothes like everyone else and their dog around here. I also keep to myself a lot at school.
Which is pretty sad, considering that im a very energetic, and fun person to be around. According to my friends.
