And you believe that diversity causes people to commit crimes?

If you look in the police beat in my local paper the demographics that represent 17% of the population commit 75% of the crime.

Again, answer my question. How does being of a different race make a person commit a crime?

Being a certain race or ethnicity does not cause one to commit crime. Period. The issues correlated with crime are largely due to lack of education and poverty, etc. Now, certain groups who generally aren't as "educated" or "financially secure" as others will commit more crimes; as crime statistics demonstrate. However, like I said, it's not because of their race or ethnicity but primarily because of greater socioeconomic issues.

But I'm glad some of the closet (?) racists on here are showing their ugly, ignorant heads.

Two priests robbed at gunpoint in Miami...Score another one for "diversity"
Why do you make quip about "diversity". The attackers were black. What's your point?

Cultural ignorance and a bad upbringing generally make people commit crimes. Which races are best known for those things?

Better be careful. You will be accused, like George Zimmerman, of being racist, instead of, criminal profiling.

The excuse of poverty causing crimes gets more pathetic every day. These thugs aren't out there stealing for rent or grocery money.

I take those accusations as a compliment considering the source.
