Racial profiling in security now means exile from political community, not just discrimination

Evidence

Risk is read on the body. If it is true that the profile is one way to sort out who goes to the camp and who does not, then those marked as bearing an inherent capacity for disloyalty are not simply being profiled, but are in fact exiled from political community. This process, whereby to be profiled is to be denied due-process rights and to be detained indefinitely, shifts radically what racial profiling now means. The very concept of racial profiling seems inadequate to describe what actually happens to those whose race, read as origins, life histories, and religious practices, marks them as potential terrorists. — Sherene Razack, Casting Out, 85 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
