Interestingly, the data only say that racial bias exists, but not whom it is working against (or for).

However, we do have evidence that black people were targeted for sentencing disparity in mandatory minimum sentencing laws. The Supreme Court has ruled against these laws (specifically harsher sentences for crack than powder cocaine), but I don't think we're completely rid of them.
