So...no change from current state?

my definition comes straight from the dictionary. here's noun number one from the Oxford online dictionary:

Quote:
1The belief that all members of each race possess characteristics, abilities, or qualities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races:
that applies to everybody here, even terrible, horrible, evil-doing, white men. now whether it's nature or nurture, i can't scientifically say, but i do have a hunch that it starts out in our bones before it's worked on in our minds.
OK, I know my time is limited before you lose interest and head off to ride your bike or chase butterflies or whatever it is you pretend to be doing when you don't have an answer to a question, but here goes...

How does Ari pointing out that the prison-industrial complex is massively biased against black men in particular demonstrate his holding "[t]he belief that all members of each race possess characteristics, abilities, or qualities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races"? Are you counting "being discriminated against by the prison-industrial complex" as a "characteristic, ability, or quality"?
