Blatant Racism

So I was just about to pay my speeding ticket, was reading through my citation, and noticed among all other info that you can find on my driver's license, an added item that stood out and got my attention... completely irrelevant of the crime committed, location, details of the vehicle, etc.

And what item is that, you may ask.

Why of course it's my race honey.

Not that I should care because I don't happen to belong to a race that is picked on in police traffic stops. But I do care because so many others are victims of racial profiling.

Give me a damn good reason: why is that particular piece of info relevant?
