I Was Racially Profiled in My Own Driveway - Doug Glanville - The Atlantic
I understand profiling, and am actually pretty much for it; but, I'm with Doug Glanville here.

On theAtlantic.com website, Doug Glanville relates his recent personal experience:
"It was an otherwise ordinary snow day in Hartford, Connecticut, and I was laughing as I headed outside to shovel my driveway. I’d spent the morning scrambling around, trying to stay ahead of my three children’s rising housebound energy, and once my shovel hit the snow, I thought about how my wife had been urging me to buy a snowblower. I hadn’t felt an urgent need. Whenever it got ridiculously blizzard-like, I hired a snow removal service. And on many occasions, I came outside to find that our next door neighbor had already cleared my driveway for me."
