Can you help me understand this Law question?

1. In a narrative format of 750 or more words, discuss the following: Assume there is evidence that prosecutors in a particular jurisdiction offer more favorable plea bargains to racial minorities than to White-Americans – that is, they are more willing to reduce the charges or to recommend a sentence substantially below the maximum permitted by law if the defendant is a racial minority. What would explain this seemingly “anomalous” finding?
