science research: Racial profiling can have profound personal impacts, the report states, according to CTV. It also has harmful impacts on the social fabric of society. The report by the Ontario Human Rights Commission released Wednesday finds a widespread feeling among racial minorities and indigenous people that their complaints about the practice have been ignored. The report, Under Suspicion, which runs to 110 pages without appendices, combines social science research with first-hand accounts from more than 1,600 individuals and organizations. Among other things, the report finds the profiling, which often flows from deeply-rooted institutional culture, can affect almost all facets of a person's life -- from shopping, to driving and getting around, to attending school. It finds aboriginal people, blacks, Muslims, Arabs and West Asians are most affected by the negative stereotypes that result in racial profiling.
