The other surprising thing is the explanation the FA gave for no luggage being offloaded. If that's official policy...wow!
Racist profiling takes place when the worrying person's fear factor jumps up more with regard to persons and actions performed by those of some "feared"/"despised" ethnic background than it would if the object of attention was someone of non-"feared"/"despised" ethnic background(s).
