Why should anyone bat an eye at using DNA to figure out the race or ethnicity of the perp? As it currently stands, blacks already commit a disproportionate number of crimes, and that creates a tendency to be biased toward assuming the perp is black for certain crimes. DNA evidence has the potential to make it easier to figure out sooner what race the person is, so you can at least exclude every other race than the perps' race from the profile. That should have the effect of making racial profiling somewhat less common, and make it easier for innocent minorities to be exonerated faster.
