Everybody is going to be saying that during the innocent chauvin riots

Blacks and Hispanics have actually constituted at least 95 percent of shooting victims every year since at least 2008, when the NYPD first started publishing this data. And as uncomfortable as it may be for some to contemplate, they have also constituted the overwhelming majority of shooting and homicide suspects — 97.1 percent and 91.1 percent, respectively — since 2008.

Most people aren't dumb. They know what's what even if it's not politically correct to say so out loud.

Go out to any of the Chinatowns in NYC and ask if they're afraid of violence from whites or latinos in NYC. You don't think the Chinese know when, where, and around whom they should have their guard up?

It's important not to lump all Hispanics in together as they are a very diverse group from dozens of countries. I bet if you were to look at the data more closely the crime would be correlated to low income areas like Washington Heights, East NY, and the South Bronx. There's probably also a connection to cartel violence in the drug trade in Corona and again Washington Heights. This means certain Hispanic groups are going to be more over represented in crime stats: Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, and Colombians w/the caveat being that most of the violence is represented in those neighborhoods.

You won't see the Mexican delivery and restaurant workers busting their ass on 16 hour days finding time to carjack and sell drugs. Same with Peruvian construction workers or Ecuadorian fish mongers scaling seafood in Chinatown.

How does this data affect your day-to-day life? Just curious.
