It doesn't matter which way you cut those numbers, the massive disproportion suggests that there's inaccurate profiling going on in enforcement, which means that even if lethal accidents occur with equal probability in every case, it will naturally follow that it occurs in a racially disproportionate fashion.

EDIT: I'm not claiming that the profiling consists of deliberate acts of racism, incidentally.
