Profiling or Association: What is the difference? 

Is stereotyping or racial profiling equal to racism or being racist? 

When people unconsciously profile you or associate you with someone based on your nationality or color, are they profiling you? I guess that should be forgiven right? 😜😂

Today, a colleague asked me if I watch Mindy Kaling and Aziz Ansari? I immediately made a joke that yes I do but I also watch Tom Cruise. I asked him why he asked me that question. He said that he wants to know more about my culture. 

How come Mindy Kaling and Aziz Ansari who were born in United States of America represent my culture? 

I teased him do you know the guy who hosted the show "George ka Pakistan". He is American too. Do you like him or know him? 

I asked him what if I had told him that "Tom Cruise" reminded me of him. 

I concluded that I like Gerard Butler and Ryan Gosling more than I know and like Mindy Kaling and Aziz Ansari. All four of them are born and bred American. Their color does not make them any less American. 😊🙏

I teased and called him, "racist colleague". We both laughed. I shared this with my other colleagues too. 😂😂😂
