Why do particular races always commit the same types of crimes?

Question

I do not consider myself an ignorant person. I am educated and well-read, however one thing I can never understand is why certain races are prone to particular crimes. Every time I hear something on the news... let's say it's a drug bust, or a thievery, or a murder... I always guess which race did it. Then they will show the suspects, and I'll think to myself, "Well, I guessed right." I am right 9 out of 10 times. I think most people see the same races commit the same crimes over and over, so when they see this race of people they think, "This person is more likely to commit this type of crime."

I already know my answer, which is- people are entitled to feel this way, but should reserve judgment anyway when dealing with various races. But its completely ok to keep it in mind that this race is prone to commit this crime based on life experience and statistics. People feel this way towards all races. As you can guess, I am white... and there are certain things where I mistrust other white people. Like when I see bankers or stock brokers, I think 'greedy, smug crook.'

My question to you is- Do you make race tallies based on the crimes you hear about and see?
How does it affect your every day dealings with other races?

Answer 1

It's an educational and immigration issue, also geographical, you're just talking about America, America has always been populated with minorities, minorities often resort to crime, because socio-economic conditions force them to live in bad areas and receive bad education. Before Eastern Europe was filled with immigrants from the south (mostly Muslims in this case), the majority of

crime and people in jail serving time were white, but now the minorities are also taking over.

Answer 2

You make too many assumptions based on your racial presuppostions. Look instead at socioeconomic causes. Poor people who are in a bad situation are more likely to commit crimes.

Poor white, black, brown, purple. It doesn't matter what colour.

If more people of one colour are poor, that is usually the result of many years of oppression and prejudice against them.

Answer 3

The black on White crime go unreported 24/7 like these, Knoxville, Wichita, the News Lady anchorperson, all raped and tortured and on and on. All we hear about is Twana Brawley and Duke, all hoaxes.

Answer 4

Here's my question: Why a crazy white person do most horrible acts like rape towards women and killing them, shooting innocent people until they kill themselves, school shooting, terrorism like the Oklahoma bombing?



Now, there are five white people were arrested of meths in TN. Also, there are more whites arrested in meths than blacks.
