This is a good watch about the subject. I'm open to hear if or how the professor is incorrect though. He sites the Washington post, US Census, and a few others, but researchers can skew data

The video demonstrates it's not as bad as many people imagine. However, I don't think it's necessary to prove the professor incorrect to demonstrate that discrimination is real because there are plenty of statistics that do demonstrate it (that are not talked about in that video).

I don't think anyone would argue that discrimination exists and that it's bad. However, if you're talking about systemic racism then that's much harder to prove.

When certain races do more of the serious crimes like murder, I think it's logical that certain races face more scrutiny. It's the small bad apples that ruin it for the rest. For example, here:

What's interesting I found from reading ur article is that Hispanics were less likely to be stopped, and in my article, they're less likely than whites to commit violent crimes.
