Free to the public...In red is the really important part for the bar you have set.
Much more comprehensive if you have a springer or jstor account to read the whole thing.

Okay, so you don't think you can reasonably infer that someone is racist based on their actions as long as they don't explicitly show their racist intent.
But you do think it is understandable(as stated in the original post) for a white woman to accuse a minor of stealing a phone because 15% of the population that shares a skin color with that minor is responsible for 40% of serious crime....
If I am understanding correctly, it sounds like you don't think we can infer the motives and characteristics of an individual by their actions.
But you do think it reasonable to infer them by the actions of other people that share a similar immutable trait with them?
Edit: I am sure this is not exactly what you are trying to get at...so I am wondering if you can help me understand why you made your initial post about 13/50 and juxtapose your willingness to sympathize with the white woman with your unwillingness to recognize that we can infer things about people based on their actions even if they are not explicit about the intent of their actions as it pertains to racism.
Quote:Using rich data linking federal cases from arrest through to sentencing, we find that initial case and defendant characteristics, including arrest offense and criminal history, can explain most of the large raw racial disparity in federal sentences, but significant gaps remain. Across the distribution, blacks receive sentences that are almost 10 percent longer than those of comparable whites arrested for the same crimes. Most of this disparity can be explained by prosecutors’ initial charging decisions, particularly the filing of charges carrying mandatory minimum sentences. Ceteris paribus, the odds of black arrestees facing such a charge are 1.75 times higher than those of white arrestees.https://repository.law.umich.edu/cgi/vie...t=articles
