Because the intentions behind the war on drugs, at least IMO, aren't to put minorities in jail.
It is about race if it was secretly designed to imprison blacks, asians and hispanics.
Instead what should be neutral laws that treat everyone the same and only discriminate against drug users has failed because the people responsible for implementing the laws are flawed and allow their biases to effect the way in which the laws are enforced.
Semantics maybe but IMO an important point to distinguish.
