Too Much Black DNA?

This article at the BBC by and large isn't about race. It details the idea of Lord Justice Sedley that everyone in the country should have their DNA filed by the police.

But then he suddenly says this:

"We have a situation where if you happen to have been in the hands of the police then your DNA is on permanent record. If you haven't, it isn't.

"It means where there is ethnic profiling going on disproportionate numbers of ethnic minorities get onto the database."

Here is yet another who seems unwilling to consider the fact that more ethnic minorities might end up in the database because they commit more crime.
