It affecting a disproportionate amount of Hispanic people than white people != racial profiling.
Racial Profiling is taking action based on the notion that someone is of [X] race and therefore that is reason to do whatever you're going to do.
Reasonable Suspicion requires the officer be able to articulate the reasonings behind their action, stating "He looked mexican" is not a legal reasoning.
However..... he couldn't speak English, he was driving without a license, and couldn't tell me where he lived is "probable cause".
