Well sure I mean you're just talking about incarceration rates in the united states. Sure, maybe the laws are too strict and too numerous here, but that's a totally separate question than if the laws are racist. Cause they aren't. They haven't been since the 60s.
I mean what do you guys actually think? If 30% of a country is X that means 30% of it's prisoners should be X and that 30% of it's movie stars should be X and that if they aren't, racism has occured? That is the most retarded possible analysis of such a complex question.

(You brought up racism in laws, not me. I just responded to your use of statistics a la men versus women prison populations and asked you to apply this type of math analysis to a larger question. End parentheses usage here)
I am asking you the totally separate question, throw out the racism aspect and please talk more about how maybe the United States is a bit on the carceral side, please. Lay it out for me, I am just so terrible at this and I still need more help from you
