Will they be doing that now if the passengers look hispanic?

That depends on the situation... I have been a passenger of a car and asked for my id. I have pulled people over and made everyone get out of the car, and spoke to each person.
In most states two cops come up to the car, they both take a quick look.. the first guy asks for your info while the 2nd inspects the situation. Often starting a conversation with the other person in the car... this way both people are talking, then they can both return to the car and exchange what you each said.. Where are you going, doing, who are the other friends in the car, etc.
And... if one happens to be illegal, everyone was blanked asked for an ID, and one guy didn't have it, and was illegal - that isn't profiling, that's doing your job.
