How come NOBODY cares about the Class-Crime relationship but ONLY the Crime-Race relationship?

The US Judicial System doesn't have the same kind of history dealing with Asians as dealing with Blacks. The US Judicial System has been found guilty of and even self-admittedly engaged in racial discrimination on many many many occasions all throughout it's existence. So to deny it is prone to racism is just naive and not realistic; and to think they magically changed one day is even more silly.

The fact is it is bastards that are filling up our prisons. Public policy makers should recognize that fact.

From your link:

Asians do not strike as much fear to the average white person as a black man does and the bias media does not help either. for instance how often do you hear about wealthy blacks who are not entertainers or athletes? It is like they do not exist. You sure as hell do not hear about alot crime created by wealthy blacks either.

Trying to move the goal posts and compare urban crime rates to rural only hurts your own position, because your initial argument is that income level is a better predictor of crime rates than race. That is not the case. If you feel that poverty is only one factor of many that affects crime rates then you should know why people don't bring up the poverty/crime relationship. Because the correlation is weak.

Have you taken a look at Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras any time lately? Ciudad Juarez makes Detroit look like a very safe low crime city.

Also if you look at many most-wanted lists of various cities, you'll notice that for crime reporting purposes, hispanics are classified as white.

Crime is far more related to high out-of-wedlock birth rates, mommas living off welfare handouts, and drugs and lack of work ethic.

They out to start giving out the toxicology results of every criminal of every race, including the mass shooters. Show what legal and illegal drugs the criminals are cranked up on.
