Society was MADE for white people. Indigenous people suffered a genocide that left generational trauma. The legal requirement needs to be there, because our proportion of them in prison is way too high. A part of that reason is lack of opportunity, as well as cops going after minorities specifically as a widespread downfall of our systematically racist justice system (in the states, a captain told his officers to "have a black day" and was encouraging them to racially profile.) The same thing happens here because we're usa-lite. Guarantee the only people to get jaywalking tickets are racialized minorities.

It would be discrimination if there was a legal requirement to keep white people in for longer. But historically they're given much much shorter sentences for the same crime.
