 A poll of Arab-Americans released  Thursday found that 21 percent reported experiencing  discrimination since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the World  Trade Center and the Pentagon. The poll, conducted by Florida-based Bendixen & Associates,  also said that 31 percent of Pakistani-Americans reported  discrimination over the past three years. "Arab-Americans have experienced more discrimination and  are over three times more likely than the non-Latino white  population to have experienced racial profiling since the  attacks," the survey found. In the poll, 11 percent of Arab-Americans said they felt  they had been subject to racial profiling by authorities over  the past three years, and 16 percent of Pakistanis reported  such profiling. A 2002 study reported that three percent of whites  perceived that they had been subject to racial profiling by  officials, such as police, during their lives.  [more ]
