Show the ghetto some respect. Hoodlums might be too busy doubled over in laughter, to rip one off.
It's sad how lower social economic neighborhoods are viewed and serviced. I've never seen an inner city Starbucks. All the KFC locations have bulletproof glass. There are no banks, only check cashing stores and liquor stores who will also cash a check. Never any kind of high end clothing or dining. No fresh produce. No butcher. No fish monger. No large grocery stores. You can't even get a fresh loaf of bread. That corner liquor store is all that you have. Nobody will attempt to deliver any kind of food. And on some blocks, ambulances won't go without a police escort. I have literally seen ambulances waiting a quarter mile away, until a police car shows up to drive in with them. And not even the cops will come alone. Always in pairs. Never solo.
Is it racial profiling? No. It's just profiling poor people. I see this in poor communities regardless of the racial demographic.
