For the first time, the DOJ has published numbers for Hispanic perpetrators of violent crime instead of just for Hispanic victims.
Quote:
...when whites commit violence they choose fellow whites as victims 82.4
percent of the time, and almost never attack blacks. Blacks attack whites almost
as often as they attack blacks, and Hispanics attack whites more often
than they attack any other group, including their own.
There is much media agonizing over black-on-black violence, but these figures
show that only 40.1 percent of the victims of black violence are black, while
people of other races account for nearly 60 percent of the victims of black
violence.
Well it clearly shows that whites are less likely to be violent offenders than are blacks and Hispanics, but more likely to be victims. Did anyone suspect otherwise? Is that considered "white privilege" to be privileged with more interracial violent crime? Isn't diversity great?
Up till this years report, The FBI statistics use to fold Hispanic offenders under white to increase the white offender rate. People would often claim that Hispanics didn't offend at a higher rate than whites, but when the statistics for Hispanic offenders began to be reported separately it shows they do offend at a higher rate.

To be fair: how do the feds figure out if a person's "Hispanic" or not? Spanish last names ain't fool proof and many Latinos have "anglo" or even Chinese names.
Unless the victim is dead, he or she would generally be able to report the race of the offender.
Not with the categories mentioned. Alaskan natives, American Indians, Hispanic but not part Caucasian or African American. No way that over 90% of victims are 100% right all the time.

Alaskan natives and American Indins are lumped into the same "other" category as mixed race people anyway. As for Hispanics, I agree that it would be impossible to know for sure unless the perp is found or was already known to the victim. Some people are likely mislabled as Hispanic, or not Hispanic, in the data.

Well it's probably safe to assume when in doubt Hispanic offenders tend to get folded into as white. That's what the feds had been doing. Additionally many Hispanics claim white and probably fewer pure Europeans from south of the border would be offenders and claim Hispanic. If you seen wanted posters or booking photos, it's generally very easy to identify them as Hispanic even though the government usually list the race as white.
