Just to be clear, I referred to the AZ law as racist, not any people. As I said, I support fair and sound immigration laws and their enforcement. But the question was specifically about the AZ law and it asks citizens to racially profile their neighbors. AZ has an enormous legal Hispanic population and the law is clearly offensive to them and me as a US citizen. I, like most everyone else here except people of American Indian ancestry, are here due to immigration at some point in our histories. This is the least racially pure country on the planet and surprisingly for many, that is and has been one of it's chief strengths.
