Correlation Vs. Causation

In my high school, every single student who was EVER suspended was a white, Jewish male. There was clearly a bias against white Jewish males in my high school.  

Or was there??

This is a lesson for many things in our world. 

Here is one example: Percent of Black Americans in the general U.S. population: 13% +. Percent of people in prison or jail who are Black: 38% +. 

So many people say that this is a CLEAR indication that we live in a racist society that looks to incarcerate black people. 

Or maybe it is an indication of something else....
