Originally, passenger profiling was introduced in the 1960s to identify potential hijackers that fit the "profile" of a person who is "likely to be a terrorist." However, this practice was discontinued in 1972 due to inefficiencies and was replaced by checkpoints and x-ray security. The Department Of Justice released a statement in 1997 claiming that automated passenger screenings would not have a "disparate impact on any group of passengers." The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) believes that "profiling, even under the best circumstances, provides an opportunity for the prejudices and stereotypes held by law enforcement and other officials to be expressed through discriminatory application of profiles. At worst, they are simply a recipe for bigoted behavior."- This paragraph could use some sources cited, not just the one that is in the paragraph before this one.

Other forms of discrimination include racial profiling and hate crimes. - This could be added to the general description of racial discrimination becuase racial profiling and hate crimes go along with all races not just in the section of Asian Americans.

You could add a citation for the line "Research shows that discrimination has led to more use of informal mental health services by Asian Americans. Asian Americans who feel discriminated against also tend to smoke more." I also think the first paragraph could use a second source, just so there's multiple sources supporting it. A citation after the line "Racial profiling is a growing problem for Arab Americans following the September 11 attacks." could be helpful too, since the assertion that it's a "growing problem" is one that should be supported by a source.

You ought to change the title of the Anti-Romanyism section to "anti-ziganism," the commonly accepted academic term for the beliefs described. Additionally, I would delete the last sentence, the vagueness of which precludes it from offering much in the way of relevant commentary on anti-ziganism.Douglas Firs (talk) 17:13, 28 November 2018 (UTC)
