The largest disadvantage of racial profiling is the increased number of innocent people being stopped or targeted by law enforcement for no other reason than their race. This can result in injury and death of innocent citizens, especially when the innocent victim becomes irate over being targeted when they have done nothing wrong and law enforcement (or some other armed vigilante) overreacts. The Trayvon Martin tragedy is a good example. This can create tensions between minorities and officials, which can lead to further misunderstandings.
The benefits of racial profiling are that it forces richer and middle class minorities to care about what happens to the lower class. Minorities are affected en masse by racial profiling, regardless of their social standing. For example, middle class African Americans are still affected by stop and frisk police enforcement in New York. This shared affront helps unite all minorities against unconstitutional actions of the police, instead of dividing the minority groups into good (rich) and bad (poor) groups.

A theoretical perspective on racial profiling could be the conflict theory, which emphasizes power dynamics and social inequalities. It suggests that racial profiling is a result of structural inequalities that benefit those in power while marginalizing minority groups. Another perspective could be symbolic interactionism, which focuses on how stereotypes and biases shape interactions between individuals, leading to the practice of racial profiling.
