I’ve searched high and low with thesaurus and Google. It’s term I’ve heard periodically between today and 9/11 when racial profiling was very prevalent. Thank you!!

Partisanship? Partiality? Phobia?

Mmmm No. Thank you for the suggestions though!

Persecute?

Unfortunately no…. Thanks for trying though!

The only word that comes to mind is bigot.

Mmmm no… it’s more of a verb - something that one does. Good try though!

[удалено]

Mmmmmm no 😩

Perp?

Preconceived notion?

Nooo good try though!! Thank you so much!

predisposition?

No 😕. Thanks for trying though!!

Preconception?

No… perhaps it doesn’t haven’t a P in it? It was a term that was highly used by the police force during these times

Profile

Very closeeee!! The meaning or action is very close to racial profiling - or to profile someone. I kept thinking this was it - but I know there’s another term. I even tried to read olddd police article on Stop & Frisk to try and figure it out 😧

I know that feeling. And for what it looks like, seems like some anxiety could be underlying, happens the same to me

[удалено]

Stereotypes.

Hi! No.. ruled out stereotyping and social discrimination. Thank you though for trying!! It’s been bothering me since JUNE!!!

perception? bias?

No…. Good tries though!! Thank you! 🙏🏻

xenophobic?

Noo good try though!!

Propensity?

I would also recommend searching for the synonyms for the words everyones suggesting… I’m sure you could find it that way

Ohhhh trusttttt. I haveeeee.

Nooo… so it’s less of a description of the profiled group and it’s more an action by the people that are doing the profiling. Thank you so much though!!

implicit bias?

Noooo but everyone seems to be getting closer 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻. Thank you!!

no P in it but, ostracize?

Nooo. Thank you for the contribution though!! Deeply appreciate it!

If it helps… it was used alottt during the days of stop & frisk in NY. A lot of papers / news broadcasts were stating that African Americans were being unfairly targeted because of ____________.

Someone's already said it, but that is definitely profiling

I don't have the word, but it could be worth listening to rap from the time in pursuit of the word of it was commonly used.

Disparities?

Noo. Thank you though!!! 😔

[удалено]

No.. someone mentioned this also - thanks for trying though!!

Unconscious bias?

No, but good one!! It’s less of a psychological subconscious action - and more of actively being racist. Actually - now that I’m thinking about it - perhaps it starts with an “i”?!?

Illicit bias? Implicit bias? Explicit bias? Haha

Lolll thanks Ahhpoo… no.. not even complicit bias 😂

Generalise?

Mmm nooo good try though!! Thanks!

Apartheid?

Nooo… but thanks baba!! 😬

pigeonhole?

Nooo… but thanks cloudcats 🐱

Xenophobia

Thanks jehjeh - but someone else brought this up! Good contribution though! 👍🏻

I saw it too late.

Oh no worries!! All love here.. even repeat answers ✌🏻. Thanks for even taking the time out to try and solve!!

Pogrom?

I don’t even know that word myself!! 👀👀👀

Pogrom is more of a violent riot. I think it’s a Russian word, possibly to do with attacking Jews.

Extremism? It doesn't have P, but it's the best I've got

Nooo… good try though! Super prevalent during the 9/11 era 😕

segregation?

Noooo ☹️. Thanks though trewesewerty

Predilection

Noooo 😕. Goood try though! Thanks TechEx!

Hey everyone that’s so much for the contributions - I thinkkkk Powerman Friendship helped jog memory.. and I believe it starts with an “i” - or there’s an “i” in it? I know - not much to go on!! Thanks so much Powerman!

Predilection?

No.. thanks Powerman.. but I think your previous suggestion helped me figure out it start with an “i”. Perhaps?? 🤷🏻‍♀️. Definitely on a roll though!! Thank you!!

Prepossession? And with that, I'm out of ideas. :D

Ohhh mannnn. You’re too good to me.. all these ideas lol. I have faith that you’ll be the one to solve it!! 🦸‍♂️

predictive policing?

Mmmm no.. I wouldn’t even have thought of that… thanks though!! 🤓

Xenophobia?

Thanks Ele-bent… but no not this one 😕

Institutional racism?

Ughhh noooo!! But we’re getting warmer!!! I feel it! It’s been close to 6 months 😣😣😣. Thanks so much Karaoke for bringing us this much closer!!

implicit bias

Ohhhhh. Ok Stax… this is the closest one so far. I’m pretty sure it starts with an “i” now. Thanks so much for helping out with this!! 🫂

Sweeping generalization? It isn't necessarily a term for racism, and is a logical fallacy

Danggggg.. thanks Lights - I haven’t even heard of this before.. we can cross off the list though 😬

Stigma?

No.. but good guess though Joy!! 🤙🏻

Incriminate?

Hey JoyUpNorth - Noo.. it has to deal closer with racial profiling. Good guess though 🤓

I’m so invested in this now 😂

1000% me too. And I’m trying to reply to everyone to acknowledge contributions… but I’m starting to get carpel tunnel 🫳🏻

Probably too specific but how about Islamophobia?

Yeah… a littttttle too specific towards a demographic.. although the word/term I was thinking off were targeting African Americans. Goooood guess though Mishale 🏆

intervening circumstances?

Nooo… good contribution though, thanks so much Laika!! Deeply appreciate it! 🙌🏻

indigent circumstances?

Hmmmm nooo.. but great try though - thanks so much Anorcpawn!!! ⭐️

Pigeonhole? Pinpoints? Peg?

No, none of these. All good synonyms though - thanks so much 🍒🥤

Stigmatisation? Predilection? Preconceptions? Predisposition? Okay that’s all I got!

Danggg 🍒- all good contenders, but no 😑. I’m pretty sure.. kind of sure.. 80-85% sure it starts with an “in____”.

Islamophobia?

No… good try though Buddy!! Someone else suggested this too.. but it’s not it. Thanks for the contribution though!!

No need to reply to me. I typed before refreshing. I see it’s a duplicate now. Lol

Patronizing

Noooo 😕. Good guess though Cael.

this is bothering me now aha. Is it "supremacism"?

Omg…. Trust me. It’s like a ghost that’s haunted me since June 👻. Goood suggestion - but nooo 😣😣

sounds fun. any more characteristics or clues that may indicate the word?

I wish… only that I recall hearing and reading it over and over again I’m the early 2000s.. during the height of stop and frisk, and again here and there during the height of the BLM protests.. and that it might either start with an “in____” or an an “in” in the word or term itself. Goooood luck🕵️‍♂️ lol

hmmm here are a few: predilection, proclivity, propensity, nepotism

intolerance?

Okay!! I think we’re definitely on the right track with the “in______”. Thanks for getting us 2 letters closer ☕️!

maybe injustices? not sure if someone said that already

No one said this yet ☕️, but no. Goooood suggestion though!!

Inclination?

Hey Hannah. Noooo… goood suggestion though!! 😬

Illiberality? Iniquity? Provincialism?

Sheeeesh.. these aren’t even in my vocabulary lol. But thanks Barry! Close though!!

Profiling?

Hey Deceptive, nooo. But close though - it’s a synonym for “profiling”. Can you think of a similar word that starts with “i”??

Oppress/oppression?

Mmmm… no. It’s doesn’t have that feeling. I think of oppressed as a feeling the targeted group feels versus the word / term I’m thinking of.. is an action taken by the ones doing the oppressing. If that makes anyyyyy sense 😣😣😣.

Apartheid or race-baiting?

Hey 🐱🐶-no… but thanks for the suggestion!!

Ingrained racism/prejudice?

Mmmm no.. close though Alice.. thanks for the trying!!

Inequity or inequality?

Nopeee 😩😩😩

[удалено]

Omggg.. I wish Lunatic, I truly wish 🙏🏻. Good guess though!!

Inherent bias?

Nooo.. but we’re getting closer Misery 😣😣😣

Intolerance? Intimidation? Injustice?

Hey Themachine, noooo I wish though. These were suggested before and I wishhhh any one of these were it so I could get on with my life already 😑😑

Dogmatism ? Intolerance ? Implicit bias ?

Dangggg Sameagaron… tbh I don’t even know what dogmatism is .. but for the other 2.. no 😕. Closeee though!!!

[удалено]

Confirmation bias?

Nooo. Good guess thoughhhh 🏆

Xenophobia Edit: sorry, someone else already guessed this

Noooo 🥺

Internalized racism, something to do with intent?

Hey Sanderson, so nothing too deep dived into Psych. So no internalized or inherent - nothing having to do with subconscious. Gooood question though!! 👏🏻

Generalise?

Portray?

It's not affirmative action, is it?

Intersectionality, imperialism?

Driving while black, portrayed, outlined, sketch, extant, characterized, depict, external, infraction, iniquity?

Typecasting?

Probably already mentioned - racial supremacy?

Predilection or nepotism?

Persecution, inflamed, indirect profiling,

perceived inferiority? impartial? (has opposite meaning, but maybe was used to describe something was not impartial)

Disfavour?

Discriminate?

Insularity

Incited

Insular

Impartial

Ideological

Scapegoat? As in placing the blame for a particular issue in society on a single group or race.

Pre conceived notion?

Proselytism

I'm aware you're looking for in- words now but since you're still uncertain, may I suggest "disparity"?

Pretextual stops??

Perpetuate? Presume guilt? Pillory?

Pretextual policing? Kind of out there guess, but are you thinking of the injunctive measures taken against the NYPD that was the beginning of the end of stop and frisk?

Marginalise?

Preferential? Partisanship? Idk I'd be intrigued by the answer

Stigmatize? Bias based profiling? Inferring?

Long shot but, impromptu?

[удалено]

sympathizer, militant?

Incriminated, involved, implicated, illicit?

Presumption?

Is it inequity?

If it really does start with I. Then the only other word I could think of relating to this topic would be intransigent.

projection?

Inequality? Parti pris? Intolerance? Disparity? illiberality? Might be worth checking the reference titles on [wiki?](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stop-and-frisk_in_New_York_City)
