I'd be happy with Sharia law, sex offenders executed, criminals having their hands cut off, what's not to like.

Serious question regarding the latest ruling on minorities sentencing.
How accurate is the data this decision is based on?
There are always claims that certain groups are proportionally more likely to be jailed and a quick look at the jail population backs that up. But is that an accurate picture?
If a white person and a minority commit the same crime and the minority person goes to jail some would say this is discrimination. But what if this was a first offence for the white person whilst the minority person had a string of convictions, you are comparing apples and oranges.
So are they being discriminated against or do they commit more crime ?
