M: So, now with SB4 as law, all Texas cops get to profile anyone driving while Hispanic.
K: People profile all the time. It's normal.
M: No it's not. Why should an Hispanic have to drive around with their papers while white people like us don't have to. Everyone should do it or no one should do it.
K: Who are the majority of the people here illegally.
M: [a pause]
K: Thought so. If that's the target group, then the ones who are here illegally have to put up with the inconvenience. Sorry. It's just like who we leave our kids with. We're much more easy to leave our kids with a woman than with a man, even if it's family. Why? Because men commit most of the crimes of abuse against children. So, we automatically profile if Cousin Freddy offers to watch our kids, we're much more willing to say, no thanks I'll ask Aunt Barbara. Is that fair to Cousin Freddy? Hell no, but he's got to put up with it because of all the other men out there who've ever beaten a child.
M: Women can commit child abuse.
K: My point is that we automatically PROFILE. I didn't say it's right on an individual case-by-case basis, I'm saying it's a necessity for the whole of society.
M: Well, society sucks.
K: Suck it up, buttercup. You enjoy living here, don'tcha?
