Racial profiling is a useful tool for law enforcement and use of this should be encouraged.

Firstly, when arguing that utilization of racial profiling as one of many techniques in identifying an offender violates the 14th amendment you clearly did not read the definition I stated in the terms of this debate. I am not arguing for law enforcement to stop anyone they wish on the street and search them. I am firmly against giving law enforcement excessive power of that kind however my opinion on that matter is not relevant in this debate as that is not what we are debating here. Secondly, the statistics I quoted were provided by the FBI which should eliminate all doubt of their validity. I think your disbelief in the soundness of the numbers might be rooted in a general misunderstanding of the way these numbers are calculated. It is done by recording the number of people who have been arrested for the offence in every 100 people. To use your example of the murder rate the numbers mean that 3 out of 100 white people have been arrested for this while 14.8 (in average) of non-white people have been arrested for murder. This is also the reason that the two numbers are not simply added when looking at all races. I agree that it is stated in the statistics that non-white people, not black people as you stated, commit more crime which is why I did not state that black commit more crime, I stated "Adding to this is the fact that individuals of other races than Caucasian are statistically more involved in crime than Caucasian individuals" which is, as you pointed out, what the statistics showed. Thirdly, to answer your question of which race we should racially profile, it does not have to be limited to one race. The whole point of racial profiling being used soundly and without harassing and oppressing is that it applies to every race just like any other profiling tool. Ignoring race completely in future profiling might lead to an investigator missing a vital part of a profile not because everything that makes a person's character is their race but because the majority of what does, upbringing, family and close relation etc., is in some ways affected by race. In his book "Code of the street: Decency, violence, and the moral life of the inner city" (New York: Norton; 1999)(1) Elijah Anderson, professor in sociology at Yale University, describes how the "code of the street" often leads to violence as a consequence of disrespect which in turn has the result of increased violence occurring in areas where this code applies. The inhabitants of areas where the "code of the street" applies are typically not predominately Caucasian. Lastly, I apologize if I am repeating myself here but my argument is not pro harassment of any race. My argument is that racial profiling could prove a highly useful tool if further developed and not merely written of as racism which is what has happened so far. The discussion of race and crime has been ignored for too long in fear of misunderstandings and mislabeled racism. Making race a taboo topic will not solve anything what will solve problems is introducing a form of racial profiling that allows law enforcement to create a full criminal profile and more effectively solve crime.
