Answer 1

This should be a no-brainer question as every state should have implemented by the first place rules against racial profiling but in reality, some states are still not into full support of anti-racial discrimination. As of 2012, 28 states have some racial profiling laws on the books

Answer 2

Answer:

B. 28

Explanation:

As of 2012, 28 states in the United States have passed laws that prohibit racial profiling by enforcement officers. Racial profiling is a practice in which law enforcement officers suspect or target a person based solely on his physical characteristics or behaviour, which are assumed to belong to a particular racial or ethnic group. Some of the groups that are often affected by this type of discrimination are African Americans, Native Americans, Asians, Pacific Islanders, Latinos, Arabs, and Muslims.
