Here is a link to a news story describing the neighborhood as "a low-income, predominantly minority neighborhood."

@#9 - Hold on, he was a white man in a minority neighborhood. Somebody called because he looked out of place. I'd say this was a bit of racial profiling according to the current definition. (Somebody who doesn't look like us is wandering around the neighborhood.) Dylan, unlike Gates, was respectful of and cooperated with the police. I'd suggest that if the roles were reversed you'd hear all sorts of claims of racial profiling and racism. Dylan didn't get off easy because he is white - he was respectful of the cops and didn't lose his cool. He didn't tell the cops "You don't know who you're messing with." There is something to be learned here.

If I'm, say, Jewish, can I take this vacation and avail myself of all the opportunities? Just wondering.
