Changes in voting rights laws is not discriminatory on paper but in effect it is since it's peculiar how it always affects areas that are largely populated by blacks. When NY had stop and frisk it was not discriminatory on paper but police were stopping black and brown people all over the city to a combined 88 percent in 2011, only 9 percent of whites were stopped and 88 percent of all total stops that year there was nothing on the persons being detained. Sure, but how many black lives were likely saved by the 10% of time it worked? In exchange for being stopped by police. If pale red heads had a high likelihood of perpetrating violent crime, I wouldn't mind an occasional random pat down if it meant violent ones were getting caught by that method.
