   I think in most cases if there's any prejudice against Colour, it is in   
   the eye of the beholder. If you look like a (choose your minority) they   
   will react as if that's what you are. There are a lot of singers and   
   actors who have worked hard to pass for white even though one of their   
   parents was black. Although they are changing their story now that it's   
   become Cool to be black..   
      
   Mariah Carey comes to mind.. It seems like for decades she avoided   
   being seen with her sister because her sister looks a lot more   
   Black than Mariah does..

   Yes, the main thing that should be considered is how likely the person   
   is to not show up to court later or do other crimes while out on bail.   
      
   Without delving into the complexities of being poor, a lot of these   
   people will continue to do crimes as long as they are able since it's   
   their only source of income.
