I never understood the ((())), as if we would pay for three parentheses when we can get brackets wholesale.

If they have to give brown people spiritual guidance THEN NO ONE GETS IT

[Tokitoki]

Article says they have Muslim clerics and Christian chaplains on site, but not Buddhists. Also the dude was very white.

[Rhyis.]

My take away is we need more arrests of asian americans.

This really did make me think, so I looked into some numbers. According to the FBI's 2016 crime statistics, there were 8,421,481 arrests, with 5,858,330 of those being white and 2,263,113 being black. That year, whites represented 61.3% of the total population (198,244,200 individuals) whereas black people represented 12.7% (41,071,800).

This means that percentage-wise, 5.51% of blacks were arrested, compared to 2.95% of whites, or slightly less than half. Whites represented 69.56% of all arrests in 2016 compared to 26.87% for blacks, with both groups outperforming their representation as a percentage of the overall population, though blacks far more. Based on these numbers, one could expect that as a function of population, whites would face incarceration at roughly 1/2 to 1/3rd the rate of blacks.

However, if that infographic is to be believed, and the quality of New York Super Fudge Chunk leaves me inclined to give Ben & Jerry's the benefit of the doubt, the actual rate is a .058 rate of incarceration for whites compared to a .333 rate for blacks. According to the Pew research center, the 2016 prison population was made up of 439,800 whites and 486,900 blacks, for a difference of 47,100. This is a narrowing of the gap compared to 2009, when those numbers were 490,000 to 584,800, a difference of 94,800. Given that by raw numbers alone whites were responsible for 5,858,330 crimes committed compared to 2,263,113 for blacks, we should expect to see incarceration numbers be reflective of those numbers but that is not the case. Also, severity of crime committed is not a factor, as whites were committing more crimes in every category assessed for FBI statistics except gambling (where there were 1,308 whites arrested compared to 1,405 blacks). This data tracked arrests from 13,049 agencies nationwide, though not all kept data on ethnicity.

Given the disproportionate amount of crimes committed by whites in the U.S. (as a function of overall population) we should expect incarceration rates to skew toward seeing more whites actually in prison, but a smaller percentage of the white population compared to blacks, who commit more crimes as a function of their own racial population. What we see instead is more black people actually in prison by almost 10% despite committing 1/3rd the crimes, and as they are such a smaller portion of the population to begin with, this leads to the 1/3 vs. 1/17 gap.

Therefore it would seem accurate to assume that there is a disproportionate rate of incarceration toward the black population in our criminal justice system.

Actually the FBI did take Hispanic or Latino into account as compared to "Not Hispanic or Latino," and found them responsible for 18.4% of all arrests.

Nice, you still included Mexicans in the book report you wrote up

Some might call that duplicitous

[Zealot]

Well some people, meaning you, are retarded.

This has little to do with the current subject, more of a general observation.

I wonder what definition of white Ben and Jerry use

[Zealot]

Though by all means, if you have any actual numbers taken from accumulated crime statistics that will demonstrate your assumption, display them and I will readjust.
