Racial profiling and cumulative injustice

Abstract:
Many people believe that racial profiling is wrong. A 2004 Gallup poll of public attitudes on racial profiling found that most Americans regard it as unjustified for each context about which respondents were surveyed. For example, 67% expressed the opinion that police may never treat race as a predictor of crime when deciding whether to stop motorists on roads or highways.
What exactly is it that makes racial profiling of this kind wrong? I believe that philosophers working in applied ethics and in legal and political philosophy have yet to work out a fully satisfactory answer to this question.
