Racial profiling is an example of historical criticism because the targeting of races and its history is used to portray our world today, and that is what it is projected to be. People use racial profiling to predict what our future will be like, and they stick to it. Just like in historical criticism, people use that to get an understanding of what the world was like in past times, people apply the same method with racial profiling in order to determine what our future selves, people, and lives will be like.
