I think it goes into murder/manslaughter crimes. Let's face it, why should it be legal for self-mutilation but mutilation of another isn't?
Because self-mutilation is always a voluntary act, whereas mutilation of others may be (and in most cases, is) inflicted upon the victim against their will.
White suicide is the least talked about epidemic in this country, yet it seems to not matter because people are more concerned with gang bangers taking out other gang bangers in chicago. I don't get it.
There are roughly 43,000 suicides in this country every year, and we commit 70% of them. This has to end.
Blacks make of 13% of the American population, yet commit 53.5% of the murders every year, with 93% of them committed upon another black male. The rate of offence in the black population is 8 times that of the white population.
There were 16,121 homicides committed in 2013 and the black population committed 8544 of them, with 7946 of those committed on another black male. Why is the media obsessed with "Black Lives Matter" and white cops when black males are dropping each other at a rate of 22 a day?
Why? Because racism sells papers and suicide doesn't. That's why.

Homicides committed in the poorest most poverty stricken areas in the United state's. Same Places where 99.9% of posters who quote these fbi statistics will NEVER come close to driving through much less visiting.
A small group of idiots committing murders and an ENTIRE race of people gets the finger pointed at them. Why is black on black crime within a small set of communities put in the limelight? Because that is exactly what those controlling the media want. To keep people pointing the finger. Much easier to point the finger at one small group than deal with your own monsters in the closet.

Seems like both White and East Asian males have more of a tendency to be anti social, which greatly increases risk of suicide. Suicide is usually done by someone with no social network to support them.
I feel American society is becoming EXTREMELY anti white male being one myself, and becoming somewhat anti white....
BTW I go to a college in the Seattle area it is super "diverse" and I've relize a lot of these people of color have strong anti white sentiment, not just them but their whole family.. Not all but a lot. No body talks about the racist against white people. I really think we are just going to get thrown under the buss and sell ourselves out. And get ruled by people that don't like us! And threw our low birth rates and mass immigration in every white country we will probably go extinct...
Imagine being born in a country where the entire system is designed for you to be successful and you can't take advantage of it. Of course I would commit suicide in that case

That's right!
Stop obsessing over Chicago and take care of your own!

OP, you set this up to be a half-baked racial question, as if the media cares about non-whites killing themselves. They don't - NOBODY cares about suicides in America, aside from the people they directly affect.
This is not about skin color or some "media conspiracy to make us not care about white people killing themselves." America has a long, sad history of being unable to confront mental illness. People with mental illnesses are seen as "weak" or "they must have done something to deserve it." People suffering in such a fashion are usually told to "man up!" if anyone even notices their plight - even the "religious" people that fill this country just cast judgement upon the mentally ill, considering them "cursed by God" or "in the grip of the devil" or some other ignorant, Middle Ages way of thinking.
America is a nation stricken with the Just World Fallacy:
"The just-world hypothesis or just-world fallacy is the cognitive bias (or assumption) that a person's actions are inherently inclined to bring morally fair and fitting consequences to that person, to the end of all noble actions being eventually rewarded and all evil actions eventually punished. In other words, the just-world hypothesis is the tendency to attribute consequences to—or expect consequences as the result of—a universal force that restores moral balance. This belief generally implies the existence of cosmic justice, destiny, divine providence, desert, stability, or order, and has high potential to result in fallacy, especially when used to rationalize people's misfortune on the grounds that they "deserve" it."
As long as this horrible mindset dominates American thinking as it does today, little will be done to help the mentally ill or those driven to depression or suicide because they "clearly deserved it" and "just should have sucked it up and been tougher."
So, in summary, give up the race angle and stop pretending that the media doesn't care about white suicides specifically and understand the bigger picture.
The media is obsessed because in Chicago people are killing others who do not want to die.
