I have to agree w/u on this one Lynn. It's a joke how the Zimmerman /Martin thing has been used to play the race card. As a YWM ( young white male), I' get followed by mall security all the time when I'm walking thru stores w/ my hoodie up and hands in my pocket clutching my skittles. I agree it's wardrobe profiling or age profiling and probably even male profiling, but haven't teenage boys always been treated suspiciously, whether black, white, American, Indian latin or Japanese ?
