Oh wait, what about hair styles too?
Why limit this idea to police and traffic stops? Why not judges, hearing officers in SSA, Food stamp intake workers, prostitutes, casino dealers too? If persons were only allowed to interact with people exactly like themselves it would eliminate all discrimination lawsuits. One employee, the executive director, of the local cable access television station in Cambridge MA, told me that a man cannot discriminate based on gender, against a man. Really? The ideas held in the minds of misguided liberals at the same time would keep psychology researchers busy for many years. What ever happened to the idea of diversity? Didn't work out too well did it?
[From article]
Citizens of color should have the choice to interact with cops of the same racial or cultural background. In practical terms, it would look like this: An African-American driver is pulled over for, say, not signaling a lane change. The attending officer will, in the spirit of good public service, ask the driver if she’d be more comfortable with an African-American police officer. If so? Then the attending police officer calls it in and sits with the citizen until an African-American officer shows up.
[. . .]
Women who are sexually assaulted, for instance, are sometimes given the option of conducting their interviews with a female officer. It’s not convenient, but it’s better policing: The theory here is that a female officer will be more understanding and less threatening, and that this might matter a great deal to a woman who has been victimized by a man.
