(10,173 posts)I would never use that to frame this data.
Regardless of your experience, the data shows that african americans are treated differently - you're ignoring the data in the article to the point of denial and making it all about you. There are some implications to your argument you should be aware of : either African Americans are lying about their experiences with police or they just need to be more polite - yes that is the inference I am making from your position in this thread and it is disturbing. I would say this is not unusual to hear from someone from South Asia, because I've heard variances of this kind of sick view of African Americans, but I don't know you.
Know well that there is such a thing as implicit bias.
And that bias against African Americans has existed in America since the days of slavery when poor whites were hired to "police" slaves and target runaways.
