Is it possible that it's just a case of wrong place at the wrong time, or are there details that you haven't included?

I have to agree. Why does everyone throw out the racist card, getting kinda old lately. Yes I am a racist, I hate everyone
Sounds like you're racially profiling the cop by calling him white and alluding that he would not have pulled you over if he was a minority. Man I wish I was a minority so I could blame all my problems on my skin color. It sounds like you were raised in a paranoid environment since your dad is spearheading your movement.
BTW, this has all been played out an killed already.

I have recieved two tickets within a week.
For the most bull**** reasons. Its more of profiling the car than the skin color.
Pulls me over on the highway even though I saw him a mile away with over 5 cars surrounding me, he pulls me over for speeding. And I told him, listen you seen the cars all next to me and pulled me over. Its bull****.

you don't know what it's like to be a minority in america and face bull**** every ****ing day based around your skin. you don't know what it's like to watch the media and see people of your skin color being portrayed negatively and to have your "race" and its "attributes" or "heritage" mocked or exploited constantly. now, this has nothing to do with this post, and i agree: blaming everything on your skin color is BS, HOWEVER, denying that there is a degree of racism and prejudice in the country is complete ignorance. it's not as bad as it once was, obviously, but that doesn't mean that we've reached a point where we can just toss it aside such as you seem to do. so get the **** over yourself with your bull**** preaching and your pompous ideologies that clearly are not indicative of what every minority experiences. and make note: i'm certainly not blaming everything on whites here... it exists in all groups, be they black, white, asian, hispanic, gay, straight, etc..
Oh yeah, and when i got pulled over on new years eve this year for 75 in a 50, the cop also asked me if I had gotten a ticket before so I don't think he was profiling you in that regard.
As for hueman, you can preach all you want about how hard it is to be a minority but the way I see it is that minorities have it pretty good in some respects as well. Stuff like Affimative Action that is always interpreted wrong in your favor. How bout college admissions where schools decide they have to admit at least a percentage of each race which means some minority kids can get into these schools who don't deserve to and some white kids get shut out when they deserve to get in. Don't call me a racist cuz I've seen it on numerous occasions. I have a filipino who had awesome grades in all AP classes who didn't get into Georgetown, and his black friend had worse grades but still got in. Its a two way street here buddy because with minorities pullin the race card a lot, it starts to discriminate white people. I think that in this day and age, I, a white male, get discriminated against almost as much as most minorities do.
Sorry, just had to rant about that. Everyone is living here in the land of the free with the greatest opportunity of any country in the world and people still complain about crap. If you don't like it, please leave.

Hueman, I know you "won't be returning to this thread" but I will respond anyways. As I have stated before, I am half Mexican and my girlfriend is half Mexican/half Spanish. I, none of my family, nor my girlfriend or her family has this problem and we live in the "podunck" state of Texas where minorities are despised, hated, neglected, and abused. 
The bottom line is that if you aren't doing anything wrong, you aren't going to have problems. And based on my family and those around me, I do know what it is like to be a minority. I just don't have any sympathy for those who pin their problems on it. And I never denied their is such thing as racism, etc.
Stop reading into things I never said.
