I guess you're not interested in actually making a point. You just wanted to post a few percentages and get people to ask you what the hell you were upset about, which you clearly are.
Forget I asked. You're obviously pretty irrational when it comes to discussing this subject, whatever it is.

Well you are no better. When you are ready for an adult conversation, read my first 3 posts.

Are you going to actually make a point? Do you have an accusation to level or a statement to make?
I'm trying very hard to have an adult conversation here, but adults, when they have a point to make, make it, and then bring out the numbers. You've done this in reverse, except you stopped before you actually made your point!
You know what? Never mind. The simple fact that not a single person has engaged you on your point, whatever it is, should be a pretty strong indicator that you haven't actually made one. But hey, it's your thread. If you don't people to acknowledge whatever it is that you have a problem with, just keep on not making your point and everything will work out peachy.
stats are good, but behind stats are the collection methods ( i say this because studies of CHP and other CA depts indicate that racial profiling exists and colored folk were more likely to be stopped, but less likely to be found engaging in criminal behaviour than whites).
thats all i will say as of now.
but what is your point op?
what answers are you looking for?
why high levels of crime exist?
why are they disproportionate levels when lookin at race/ethnicity?
what do you want us to discuss?

My point is this...why are minorities more likely to be felons than the majority. Read the stats.
Agreed.
Minorities need to quit commiting the majority of crimes.
Why, why, why?
What causes a person to be more likely to kill another? Culture? Morals? Or even commit other felonies.
