"distortion" referred to bias created by discrimination in the criminal justice system. So you have interpreted me wrong, which seems to be a recurring pattern here. I am saying that while there may be discrimination, it's not clear how much this discrimination is able to account for different rates of convictions, and how much is due to Blacks committing more crime. You seem to have ignored my point about the discrimination being greatest for less serious crimes (a point made in the article you linked). The article also claims that even these crimes can be a problem for job seekers, however I think the effect is smaller, in terms of how long it stays on a person's record, whether it appears on a background check, and how employers would react.
