Blacks and Latinos, for example, opposed the measure at about the same rate as whites. That despite evidence that pot advocates presented during the campaign that minorities are disproportionately arrested on marijuana offenses.
It cracks me up that the writer is trying to connect the act of opposing the marijuana issue with the fact that certain groups of people are arrested on marijuana charges in a number that is disproportionate to that of whites. They have nothing to do with each other. Oh well...I need to direct my energy elsewhere.
