I am a minority and I just recently moved from Minneapolis, MN, a "diverse" city to Des Moines, IA, a not so diverse city and the difference is staggering!
Minneapolis is about three times the size of Des Moines but they had 4 murders so far in 2010, all involving minorities. Des Moines had 6 murders in 2009 and everybody involved was prosecuted.
Honestly, this was one of the best moves I could have made and I am happy to live in a city where most people respect each other and really care about their community. I still don't understand why minorities commit so much crime!
Some say it's in your blood. How many of the 4 murders did you commit?

The answer is failed, and misguided, 'progressive' social engineering policies. They go by benign feel good names like 'The Great Society'. These programs encourage fatherless families, teen pregnancy, rampant drug use and abuse. All lead to high unemployment in minority communities. The result is a dependency on the government in the affected communities which the democrats promote and need to continue growing government. They also breed in people a sense of hopelessness and despair. Hence the crime. So to answer your question the problem is the Democratic party.
I don't think minorities commit that many crimes. If a city has a majority Latino population like Los Angeles than it is only normal that most of the crimes are committed by Latinos.
Most of the people in prison are white anglo.
Most of the most extreme white collar crimes where billions and millions of dollars are misappropriated is done by white anglo people.

Well, I wasn't gonna say anything here, since I think it's ridiculous thread ( your statement here dosen't make it any better), but you need to look at the %, not the total numbers.
When you have 95 people called A, and 5 people called B, and 5 B's sit in jail and 6 A's sit in jail, then you do have more A's sitting in jail, but also 100% of B's in there. That's basically less A's.
Is that easy to understand
There should be a thread " What can we do about it".
