IMO, any country that willingly turns a blind eye to that statistic has a lot of explaining to do and needs to come up with solutions. It isn't just the problem of the ethnic community.
Honestly, with my post taken out of context, I don't know all I said really or where that comes from. I may have addressed that (in general) or may not.

I'm sure madmax will be more than happy to post the thread instead of just a piece of a post out of context.

But I agree - disproportionate incarceration rates is a societial problem that everyone needs to look at.
