> zero evidence other than your own preconceived notions

Let's not forget overwhelming research and other evidence, and hundreds of years of history, of discrimination against people with black skin.

But I agree we shouldn't assume.

Nobody said it doesn't happen to other people. Factually, it happens to black people much more.

> overwhelming research

Do you have any evidence that the research is "overwhelmingly" one-sided?

It's well-known enough I'm not going to spend valuable time producing it. While it's reasonable to ask for evidence, we don't have time to find and produce evidence on everything.
> It's well-known enough

Well-known is not the same as correct. It's well known that women will do the same work as men for 23% less. It's also disproven.

Here's at least one study that finds no such bias: researchgate.net/publication/256079484_No_evidence_of_racial_discrimination_in_criminal_justice_processing_Results_from_the_National_Longitudinal_Study_of_Adolescent_Health
