Is racial profiling "racist", unfair, or good police work?

It depends.

Were the police being racist and/or unfair when they detained me while I was walking down the street minding my own business because I fit the description of someone who just committed murder?

If I was black it would probably be considered racist and unfair but because I am white it would probably be considered good police work.
