    Yeah this looks like a written appeal so not sure what race has to do with it. Also this is a parking fine, not a moving violation, which it sounds like you're describing

    If the appeal has a name on it then there could still be bias. Somewhat related: I heard job applications still got biased reviews with names redacted because the contents were culturally specific enough.

    Its perfectly clear, i can Rephrase it in midwest english:

    I was at the courthouse in my neighborhood to try to get a ticket dismissed. You wouldn't believe it, but there were a bunch of white people getting dismissed easily while African Americans all had court dates set to have trials.
    Surely this was a coincidence, especially with a town sherreif who looks like a good ol boy with a gun. Certainly coincidence.

    No contest isn't a dismissal. It's just means that you are not pleading guilty, but are accepting the courts ruling.
