        The fun question is:

        • is it racism from the people administering the drug?

        • is it racism from the people handing out sentences disproportionately in districts with shit health standards?

        • is it racism because a “standard” dose of just about everything is calibrated to white athletes from the 1920s?

        • or is it d) all of the above (plus probably a bunch of fucked up things that didn’t even cross my mind)?

    tl;dr: They’re pretty sure it’s racism, even if not intentional/overt, but

    the study does not explain how or why states make more mistakes when executing Black prisoners

    So it’s still just the rest of us saying, “Hey, that looks awfully racist.”
