My only concern with this result/finding is not related to the finding at all; but rather, related to the "justice system's" treatment of those higher scoring experimenting youth.

Whereas, the experimenting PoC, when caught, receives a criminal conviction that will likely ruin his/her future; his/her white counter-part, is likely to receive a status offense, if that.
