> Asian incarceration rates are also lower than that of whites, another fact difficult to explain through the prism of institutional white supremacy.

It was almost impossible for Asians to come to the U.S. before 1965. Wait another couple hundred years and check back on whether there is a reversion to the mean.

These are crime rates, independent of total population. 1.009% of US Asians were arrested for any crime in 2016. 2.782% of US whites were arrested the same year: https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2016/crime-in-the-u.s.-...

Less than half the arrest rate.
