alt Hacker News> Can you show me where the “mediocre white men” are on this chart?
I think you will find that they tend to be at home, according to this graph https://www.ussc.gov/research/research-reports/2023-demograp....
From the report 'Specifically, Black males received sentences 13.4 percent longer, and Hispanic males received sentences 11.2 percent longer, than White males'
So, based on your own logic, you would argue for higher prison sentences for whites? It's all well and good to whine about 'discrimination' in one narrow area, but few have the courage to oppose discrimination when it benefits them.

Yes. Your report shows that white men are more often given probation, which explains much of the difference. That should stop. Throw those fuckers in prison.
Your report also shows that black women received 6% shorter sentences than white women. So there seems to be more at work here than black versus white. We need less discretion in sentencing across the board.

That describes people who point to sentencing disparities to justify affirmative discrimination in school admissions and employment.
