> Racial and gender disparities are real, but against the 'rich' part in this case...

Sorry I didnt understand what you meant here.

Reads to me like "being rich only helps if the people on the other side are materially less rich".

edit: wow, reading gp's "clarification" below, I was way off

You were correct. I made two separate points. You were true to the second, and I clarified the first below.

That the fact she defrauded people richer than her will override any slight advantages her race or gender may have provided her in sentencing

Saying she'll get off because she's white, a woman, and rich is like saying your car stalled because your tires were low, you had groceries in the back seat, and your engine hadn't had its oil changed in 18 years.

That make more sense?

Edit: I'm saying being white and being a woman helps, but being rich helps such an astronomically huge amount more emphasizing anything else feels less like informing and more like baiting.

Not sure how that wasn't crazy clear.

No, I am more confused now.

Are you saying white, rich people and women dont get preferential treatment in the US justice system?
