The crazy thing is that someone is eventually going to dig up some statistics showing the perpetrators of violent crimes against aboriginal women get lower sentences than those who commit violent crimes against non aboriginal women, and there will be all kinds of outrage. Then someone will dig deeper into the numbers and show reduced sentencing for aboriginal offenders is responsible for the disparity. And the perversity of race-based justice will be evident.
