and 38 percent of white males

The headline is bad, but my expectation would have been something low like 1% for white men. 30% worse treatment for black men is bad, but it is not the expected 5000%.

Do you live in the US? Most people I know have been arrested.

Live in US and never met anyone who has been to prison. You really need better friends.

Do you think there's much of a correlation between quality of people's character and whether or not they've been arrested? Also I never mentioned prison but there are plenty of fine folks in the big house too.
