Yeah, no. Minorities are still being disproportionately imprisoned.

It's not the same thing. Not by a long shot. They are not in prison for the crime of being a minority. There are no US laws criminalizing behavior according to ethnicity or religion, nor could there be.

You are equating state-sanctioned cultural genocide vs an imperfect justice system with a racist legacy. I could go on, but I really don't need to.
