The prison rates for black people and Hispanic people are the top two in the world and the rates for white people are tied for 9th highest in the world. I'd argue that there is a big problem with over-incarceration in the US
Right on with the numbers. It's obvious that what we have is a major problem with minorities who can't conform to legal standards. 1 out of 6 black men will spend time in jail in their life time. 1 in 22 white men will do so. That's not because the justice system is racist my friend.

What about the fact that just the rate of incarcerated white men in the US (450 per 100,000) is over three times the total rate for the second place country (China, 118 per 100,000)?
I don't understand how you can digest those numbers and not wonder wtf is going on.
