I dunno.. judging from personal experience i would have to say that blacks and hispanics are a lot more brazen and open about their weed smoking. White smokers tend to be a bit more secretive about their smoking. Sometimes people forget that the stuff is illegal and they probably should not be smoking it outside in public and/or casually discussing it in public.
I don't doubt that there may be some kinda political or racist reasoning beihind the arrests, I just don't think that bigotry is the main or only factor in it. Weed smoking is still a bit more of a taboo in white communities/families than black or hispanic cultures/neighborhoods/whatever and that lack of taboo can lead to carelessness and make people overly-comfortable and too loose with something that is still illegal - leading to more arrests.
