Hispanics were widely overrepresented [sic] with 77 percent of federal marijuana sentences... What is their percentage of arrests compared to whites? What is their conviction ratio? What is the ratio for non-latinos?
Or is that not "news".......

Well, one way to address this is for courts to start sentencing suburban, middle and upper class white kids who deal weed to longer sentences. I wouldn’t mind that at all. I suspect that the liberal parents of these kids would go crazy if that happened, but there is some truth to the accusation that suburban white kids who deal or possess pot get off lightly compared to poor Latinos and blacks.

Nothing new. Back in the early 1960s I knew a woman teacher from Texas and she said that back when she was a young teacher, 1930s-1950s, that the Mexicans in her area would smoke marajuana and get mean.
Even Frank J Dobie, in his books mentioned the Mexicans smoking MJ even earlier.

Which is why we should tax pot to build the wall...

When I was in high school one of my friends whose family was from Ireland went back there over the summer to visit their cousins. In Dublin they ran into some guy whose family must have migrated there a generation earlier from Africa. He freaked out because he had never heard a black person speaking with an Irish brogue before in his life. LMAO.

I don’t pretend to be well traveled so when I met what looked like asians, speaking with what I thought was an English accent, I thought it was hysterical.
Turns out the sisters were from new zealand.
Nice girls but my goodness ugly as sin.

I read something by Frank J Dobie years ago. I believe he referred to the Mexican workers as “wet Mexicans” and it was obvious he meant no disrespect. It was just a fact.

True. I lived around lots of wetbacks back then. The local Spanish US citizen highly resented being called a wetback.

Hispanics were widely overrepresented with 77 percent of federal marijuana sentences, despite making up less than 20 percent of the U.S. population.Duh. Criminal sentences aren't passed out according to percentage of the populations, but rather on being convicted of crimes. Something that US Spews doesn't want you to think about. I suspect that Hispanics (illegals) are underrepresented if you look at the proportion of crimes they commit

Wetback does sound a little more derogatory than wet Mexican lol, but back in Frank Dobie’s day, no one cared. Political correctness was unheard of...

Don’t you mean J. Frank Dobie?
He’s from my part of deep South Texas (Alice) and known well by the older generation (which includes me).
