blacks and asian have a high crime rate vs whites, so I don't see how it's unfair to sterotype.

Black and asian neighborhoods are more dangerous vs going into white neighborhoods.

statistically, this cannot be true given that there are far more white people in America than any other racial group.

Yes, and a good looking blond can get away with doing lots of dumb things. Just look at any school to find out that is true. Just be a friend of a good looking blond to know this is true.

for a lower population, they sure seem to have higher numbers in prison.

Black males continue to be incarcerated at an extraordinary rate. Black males make up 35.4 percent of the jail and prison population — even though they make up less than 10 percent of the overall U.S population. Four percent of U.S. black males were in jail or prison last year, compared to 1.7 percent of Hispanic males and .7 percent of white males. In other words, black males were locked up at almost six times the rate of their white counterparts.

Your links demonstrate the racial composition of the prison population which is quite distinct from the racial breakdown of which racial group commits the most crimes.

Blacks, for example, are in prison at a disproportionate rate because police enforcement of black communities is higher than it is for white communities. Moreover, legal defense for white people is more accessible than for non-whites. Lastly, judges and juries tend to hand out more jail sentences to non-whites than whites.

Asians? That's a new 1 on me. Black people: that's mostly an American hood rat thing. Blacks from Africa have a real good rep here in the US because they don't get in trouble much.

LOL, I didn't even look at the video all the way through and didn't know they included a pretty blond but I just knew that's the way it is.

Video in short:

White guy tries to steal bike, he is ignored.

Black guy tries to steal bike, he is stopped by an angry mob.

White girl tries to steal bike, she is aided and abetted.

Did you consider, for even a moment, that that could be, at least in some small part, related to what was shown in the video?
