African Americans and Hispanics were subject to nearly 90 percent of the 4.4 million stop-and-frisk actions despite constituting only about half of the city’s population.)
This is something that always gets me. When I hear people use the supposed excuse that "black people commit most of the crimes." Like it literally doesn't occur to them that if 90% of the people that are stopped and searched are black or brown, then obviously they'll be indicted and convicted at higher rates, not to mentioned sentenced more harshly for the same crimes. It's not that black people commit more crime, it's that lots more white people get away with it.
