> You never see a white rich man being profiled on the news

SBF has been in the news for 2 months straight.

Stop with the lies, the cherry picking, and the confirmation bias.

I think you misunderstand what they mean by the term "profiled".

Yeah it seems like there are two types of profiling being discussed here. Profiling on the news can mean either showing a person's entire story and doing a profile on them almost like their Facebook page, or there's profiling that is for instance when a police officer racially profiles someone and pulls them over for being a person of color, or in the news when they show a suspects mugshot and share negative extraneous information about them eg they got a speeding ticket once and never returned that one book to the library.

You mean the guy that committed massive fraud is being profiled because he is white? He is in the news because he is guilty as hell. There was no profiling at all.

That’s not what profiled means in this context.

“Profiled on the news” means “featured on the news”.

You don't decide the context of someone else's comment. That is not how this works.

That’s literally what the phrase “profiled in the news” means. “Profiled in the news” is a phrase synonymous with “featured in the news”. In this instance the word “profiled” isn’t standing alone, it’s part of an oft-used phrase with an established meaning. I didn’t have to use context to glean the meaning, the phrase has a known meaning.
