    (University of Oum El Bouaghi, 2023) Sabor, Chaima; Lamri, Amel
    Racism, since its emergence, is shifting from one shape to another generating more and more difficulties to those minorities living in the United States. Racial profiling is one of those shapes that makes is difficult for them to live there. The development of the concepts of race and racism led to the creation of a social dilemma, which cannot be wiped off easily. This research aims at unveiling the reality of the American society and the reasons behind segregating and discriminating the minorities, and that the establishment of the American post-racist society is a failure. This will be achieved by analysing different instances of driving while black & flying while Arab, these two are slang expressions used by the American society to name the segregation of Black drivers and Arab travellers at the level of the airports, contrasting these sites with road and airport regulations in the US. This research uses some methodological processes. The first is a historical descriptive approach in which the historical and societal factors were examinedin order to get familiar with the reasons behind such racist behaviours, which they are narrated in a certain chronological order. Secondly, an analytical approach, which was used to analyse some case studies of Blacks and Arabs, to reveal the reality and the kind of segregation these people are facing. These cases prove the existence of racial profiling in the United States, and that it is having a negative impact on black people and Arabs. It implements feelings of fear, humiliation, marginalization and othering in them. More, it determines that reasons behind such behaviours are deeply rooted in the American history, the fact that needs more light to be shed on it.
