Blacks pay a higher "trial penalty" than comparably-situated whites;

Define Trial penalty.

Whites receive a larger reduction in sentence time than blacks and Latinos for providing "substantial assistance" to the prosecution;
For same crime? Probably not factored in.

Blacks and Latinos with a more serious criminal record tend to be sentenced more severely than comparably-situated whites;
That has a lot to do with 3 strikes laws, not jim crow laws.

Blacks are more likely to be jailed pending trial, and therefore tend to receive harsher sentences;
For same crimes? Probably not factored in.

Whites are more likely to hire a private attorney than Latinos or blacks, and therefore receive a less severe sentence
That's wealth discrimination. Has nothing to do with race. Plenty of wealthy Blacks and plenty of poor whites.

Bingo.

Wealth discrimination accounts for a large percentage of what is identified as "racial discrimination".

To be fair, a lot of people from Northwestern end up being bums from my experience

So is this some sort of state law, or is it just a policy (to give scholarships to minorities) developed by the universities themselves?

Since Illinois is a liberal state, they give more full rides to minorities than to the middle class. Add to the fact Trump is shitting on the middle class

so you just select which one you wish to apply?  hmm ok I guess

identified as =/= truth or fact in the quote above.   did you think O.J. was innocent?

Wealthy minorities are generally treated better by the justice system than low income minorities.

Who cares if OJ was "innocent"?  We enjoy presumed innocence until proven guilty.

I'm still not sure what you are suggesting.

Are you saying that only rich kids should get scholarships?

Are you saying that all kids with high scores should get scholarships?

Are you saying that nobody should get scholarships?

Are you saying that everybody should get scholarships?

Are you saying that scholarships should be assigned randomly?

My friend is a second wave immigrant, who's mom immigrated and was born in America. He gets a free ride in life and goes to Northwestern and University of Illinois with a 3.75 GPA. You know what is happening to them. They are in fucking jail now.
Also, this is a good example of Abductive reasoning.

Abductive reasoning: taking your best shot
Abductive reasoning typically begins with an incomplete set of observations and proceeds to the likeliest possible explanation for the set. Abductive reasoning yields the kind of daily decision-making that does its best with the information at hand, which often is incomplete.[LINK]

Your sample size of one is inconclusive.

If we believe the justice system is broken, we should take steps to repair it.

In the mean time, we should abide by the decisions of our current system of judges and appeals.

I misunderstood what you said, but yes I agree with you, what people are calling "racial discrimination" is actually the disadvantage of not being able to afford hiring a good attorney etc
when it comes to the law, the wealthy have a huge advantage, i'd even say an unfair one, but that's a different topic I suppose.

I'm not sure how you expect me to understand if you refuse to explain.
