You make solid points.

Even if the policy is not intentionally racist, the result is that black people are arrested/convicted/imprisoned at far too high a rate.   And since felons are permanent second class citizens--can't vote, can't work, can't collect government food or housing assistance, can't own a gun, etc.--what you've got is Jim Crow part deux.

With sentencing guidelines that make crack 20x worse than powder (recently amended down from 100x worse by those crazy liberals), the disparity is made all the more glaring.

If the result is racially skewed, the policy is racist by definition.

That's actually not true, but far be it from me to side with Munson on an argument, so please carry on.

I thought it might not be true, but it sounded good. 

What is it then when the results of a policy are grossly racially unfair?

Unfortunate and in need of serious adjustment. Racism implies intent.

Unfortunate is too weak, and perhaps racist too strong.

Criminal is what I'd call it.
