Question

A situation in which racial minorities are treated more harshly at some points and in some places in the criminal justice system, but no differently than whites at other points and in other places best describes

Answer 1

The answer is: Contextual discrimination

Contextual discrimination is often used to make the perception that discrimination does not exist in the broader range, but it still is if we pay attention to specific details.

For example, compared to the majorities, criminals that came from minority background are much more likely to receive death penalty. Even though technically the treatment that they receive in jail is typically similar.
