Racism? Really? Do you have any proof for that? The reason so many people are in prison is because we have harsher sentences , broader laws, and more laws. And the reason we have harsher sentences is because we are afraid of 'criminality', and the prison guard unions and police unions are powerful. Also Occam's razor isn't any kind of scientific standard or measure.
