Throw ya a thought AF - really since you mentioned ethnicity.

It really does not matter much about whatever race. You can stuff 100 people from all over the globe and they won't be "offending" re gun offenses at the same rate as is in the US.

Why? (And this ain't no heartbreak hotel story) - people who have been trampled on for.. literally centuries, will find whatever mechanisms they can to survive. In the middle of that - they will learn a few more ways of earning. It's not overnight but something over decades. It is only 60 years or so since a black guy entered a baseball pitch - that is roughly the time, looking back, as the Second World War - it's not that long ago. Since then there have been race riots (from MLK onwards) and a face of tolerance on race - but, it's skin deep.
No way can anyone claim certain races have equality with others - we can denegrate and find people "useless" or whatever, but the core issue is underneath - they adopt methods of finding money one way or other. These races could be African American, Italian, Jewish whatever... If a society slaps em down - of course there will be more crime from that area.

Only my - to select areas based on ethnicity is a social problem. It's something any country has to deal with and resolve. This is not only spreading over just the US - but it's borders where Mexican folks may enter the US and eventually get involved in crime (assuming most are not already involved in eg the drugs trade). Many will never have a rap sheet - but the fundamental problem exists and will not go away unless action is taken to resolve it.

Overall.. don't matter about race - people don't go around killing others because of where they may live. There is a problem where they live - and the source of "unrest" and it will show in crime stats.


PS .. Don't think ya have to wait much longer before the crime rate in New Orleans shoots up - it has already started. Why? Same old reason.
