Every definition I see of racial profiling states that the profiler knows the race and uses it as the reason for the stop/confrontation, etc.
If what I mentioned above is true, then Zimmerman followed simply a guy in a hoodie late at night.
Do I think he should have ever confronted Trayvon? No, unless he actually witness a crime (which he didn't). If Zimmerman hadn't been overzealous in his pursuit of the hooded figure, Martin would most likely be alive today. I think if Martin did beat the shit out of Zimmerman, it was because Zimmerman was up his ass or in his face and wouldn't back off or wait for *real* authorities to come sort it out.
The whole thing was an escalation of Zimmerman being overaggressive.
2012 hit the nail on the head, IMHO:

it was an accident. he was getting his ass beat, things got out of hand and he panicked, killing the young Trayvon with a single gunshot. he is guilty of being a stupid asshole and will get manslaughter .........
