I think in most cases if there's any prejudice against Colour, it is in
the eye of the beholder. If you look like a (choose your minority) they
will react as if that's what you are. There are a lot of singers and
actors who have worked hard to pass for white even though one of their
parents was black. Although they are changing their story now that it's
become Cool to be black..

Mariah Carey comes to mind.. It seems like for decades she avoided
being seen with her sister because her sister looks a lot more
Black than Mariah does..

Yes, the main thing that should be considered is how likely the person
is to not show up to court later or do other crimes while out on bail.

Without delving into the complexities of being poor, a lot of these
people will continue to do crimes as long as they are able since it's
their only source of income.
