About the education part...like I said...Harvard just accepted its higher percentage of blacks...so they must be doing something right...and there are many scholarships and affirmative action can help minorities...
Are you mentioning Trayvon Martin? That's a whole different story, but I don't believe Zimmerman was 100% at fault...I thought US police officers profiled Muslim people...And also, police tend to view statistics, and then stereotype...if there's high crime in a certain population, there more likely to believe that population is more dangerous because of the STATISTICS...I'm pretty sure blacks have higher murder rates (for example), than say, Asians, so it's more convenient and efficient to do so
