Right I got that. My point is many nations ban drugs. In fact they pretty much all do at some level.

Meaning there are other reasons besides racism and thus that is likely not the primary reason like this silly "Nixon" comment I see on every post about drugs.

"War on drugs" does not refers merely at making drugs illegal. It literally refers to Nixon specific set of priorities and policies and rhetorics around them.

Anyway, China did not had the same punishment disparity between crack and cocaine US had.
