Good catch. Although crimes rates from OP are still correct.
Take murder numbers. 50% committed by blacks, 50% by whites. There are 5 times more whites than blacks so here you go, 5 times the crime rate as OP states.

ps: Where are latinos, I assume they are in "white" column? Well that "pollutes" white numbers, meaning that actual crime rate would be way more than 5 times.

ps: OP states 70%, not 75%, not that it matter here, just saying.
