00:01:00.000 That guy is not white. We've just been lied to so much. 0.98
00:01:03.960 That guy, no one would look at that guy in the street and say,
00:01:06.240 that's a white guy. That guy's not white.
00:01:07.980 How on earth, who could look at that guy and say he's a white guy?
00:01:10.460 This is how people become racist. 0.98
00:01:12.420 33% of the U.S. prison population is black. 0.94
00:01:16.320 What they call non-Hispanic black. 1.00
00:01:18.540 We'll separate the Hispanics. 33% black. 1.00
00:01:21.380 31% is white.
00:01:23.680 23% is Hispanic. 0.95
00:01:26.360 2% is Indian, feather not dot.
00:01:28.740 1% is Pacific Islander. This, according to the crime statistics. So my producers have asked me
00:01:36.700 to go a little bit deeper and to see if I could identify the race of inmates just based on their
00:01:44.940 appearance. They're asking me to racially profile people. He's black? This is in, Mr. Davies,
00:01:51.520 this is in New Jersey? Yeah, this is the New Jersey Department of Corrections. Okay. All right,
00:01:56.640 let's go take it away uh okay that would be an hispanic guy his name is richard acevedo
00:02:03.000 i would say that's pretty clearly an hispanic guy
00:02:05.960 he's white um hey you're white smile no look i should know look i should be on the guard for 0.99
00:02:16.420 this because they're what they're doing is they're lumping and people are not white they're
00:02:21.000 saying they're they're white but that guy is not white i mean look i as someone who's racially
00:02:25.740 liminal. I'm a little bit dusky myself. That guy, no one would look at that guy in the street and
00:02:31.600 say that's a white guy, right? I'm a 35-year-old white man. Okay, next one. Okay, that guy's not
00:02:35.880 white. That's Christian Argueta. Argueta. Señor Argueta is Hispanic. He's white. That guy's not
00:02:44.700 white. One's a baby and the other's black, I think. At least part black or Hispanic. Christian 0.96
00:02:53.900 Argoeta is not, are you kidding? Like, how on earth? Who could look at that guy and say he's
00:02:58.000 a white guy? Well, man, because white is actually a social construct. Whenever it's convenient for
00:03:04.620 us, say the liberals. Whiteness is real. It's objective. We need to abolish it. But when it's 0.99
00:03:10.880 convenient for us, like when we're classifying prisoners, then whiteness doesn't exist. Okay. 0.73
00:03:15.660 Next one. That guy also definitely not white. Luis Bernabé. So not only does he not look white, 0.94
00:03:22.240 he doesn't have a white name at all. 0.92
00:03:24.900 So it's going to be white, right? 0.95
00:03:27.780 Is the thing you're doing here 0.97
00:03:29.580 that they're all white?
00:03:30.840 Is that, is Hispanic? 0.70
00:03:34.660 He's white.
00:03:38.720 Before we go on,
00:03:40.560 is this,
00:03:41.340 because sometimes, you know,
00:03:42.440 Mr. Davies,
00:03:42.980 you send me news stories
00:03:44.540 and I look into them
00:03:45.260 and they're not really,
00:03:46.300 is this real
00:03:47.200 or is this like a Mr. Davies fact? 0.82
00:03:49.800 You're horrible at this.
00:03:50.980 I'll go in 0.99
00:03:51.760 and I'm going to let you try to find a white guy in a second.
00:03:55.000 I've got a few more just to get your opinion on these.
00:03:57.760 Hmm.
00:03:58.700 I mean, look, Javier.
00:04:00.600 Javier Betancourt.
00:04:02.480 He's not a white guy.
00:04:03.560 He's Hispanic.
00:04:04.680 But, like, I guess his skin's a little lighter.
00:04:06.960 He's not William F. Buckley. 0.97
00:04:08.460 But his skin's a little... 0.99
00:04:09.480 But he's not white.
00:04:10.180 He is Hispanic. 1.00
00:04:13.080 Wrong. 0.99
00:04:13.580 You're racist. 0.98
00:04:14.320 I know. 0.95
00:04:14.920 No, I know.
00:04:15.480 I mean, I know.
00:04:16.320 I think I figured out your game.
00:04:18.260 Okay?
00:04:18.620 Let me see the next one.
00:04:19.920 Javier Caban. 0.98
00:04:20.740 Again, like I get, no, he's just Hispanic. 1.00
00:04:23.300 He's like a whiter Hispanic, for sure. 0.99
00:04:25.320 He's not, he doesn't quite look Quechua or something, 0.98
00:04:27.760 but he's definitely, I mean, his name is Javier.
00:04:29.520 Javier Caban, he's Hispanic.
00:04:32.220 He's white. 0.94
00:04:33.940 He's white! 0.99
00:04:35.820 We're going to keep going 1.00
00:04:36.640 as we get to a couple more of the black guys, 1.00
00:04:38.040 just for content purposes.
00:04:40.260 Joseph A. Caban.
00:04:41.500 A lot of Cabans committing crimes. 1.00
00:04:42.900 Joseph A. Caban, that guy is Hispanic, 0.97
00:04:46.040 maybe a touch admixture of black.
00:04:48.000 Certainly indigenous, but Hispanic, for sure. 1.00
00:04:50.160 White. Yeah. Okay. When I see that, if this is true, I'm still reserving judgment on whether 1.00
00:04:56.420 or not this is true. When I have seen some examples like this, it starts to make you
00:05:00.740 wonder. You say, look, okay, white people in prison are vastly underrepresented relative to
00:05:05.900 their percentage of the general population. But then when you look and you see like all the whites 0.96
00:05:11.060 who are in prison are not actually white, you start to say, do white people commit any crimes 0.74
00:05:15.000 at all they must i'm sure they must but when you look at something like that you say do white
00:05:20.340 people commit any crimes in america next one okay luis rosario he is hispanic leaning black he's
00:05:28.720 like more black hispanic i would say blanish you don't believe me do you this one to me i i get
00:05:40.140 that this probably does happen but this one to me seems fake it's just too much no one would ever
00:05:45.520 look at that guy say he's white i know i'm a caucasian because when i wake up in the morning
00:05:49.320 i just have such a great life don't do not do not this that is not real that is not you're
00:05:59.420 gonna tell me that guy's white but that is not real that's like it's not that his skin is like
00:06:16.920 fully you know namibia part of darkness congo in terms of its tone but he's every physical marker 0.85
00:06:27.780 of blackness is there
00:06:29.580 and no physical markers
00:06:31.680 of whiteness are there.
00:06:33.460 So there's no way. 0.97
00:06:35.400 I need proof that this is not just a Ben Davies
00:06:37.760 fact. I need proof.
