Last time I checked it was almost every class of conviction that Blacks and Hispanics were more likely to be "affected" by.
Probably not embezzlement, insider trading, fraud, computer hacking, or other white collar crimes.
I don't see how this qualifies as racial bias, any more than requiring a high school diploma would qualify as racial bias
Because racial profiling means you judge people based on appearance before checking their educational background, it stands to reason that even Blacks or Hispanics with the same educational background as their White peers would still have higher conviction rates. Therefore a bias based on convictions would still favor Whites.
