but that is seriously misleading abuse of statistics

Blacks are 12 % of our population and Whites are 65% Browns are 15%. 8% mixed or not stated. I used 25% of the population of each group as being in the "young" group, saying it's 15 to 30. It's very difficult to get good numbers on our convicts.

So I am saying that young Blacks, (12 x 1/4 = 3%) comprise 40% of our convicts.

Young Browns are quoted at me as being double the total percent So young Browns are (15% x 1/4 = 3.45% )are doing 30% of our crime.

Young Whites are doing the remaining That's (25% x 65% = 16.5%) So the young White which is 16.5% are doing 30% of our crime.

I have left out the older but if included they would still show Blacks, 40, Browns, 30 and
whites 30 against a 65/15/12 split of the total leaving 8% left for the rest.

If you separate violent from non-violent crime it's even worse. Blacks are doing 50/60% of the violent crime.

We can never admit or discuss this openly. So how are we ever going to change it? I wish I knew solution. I am not happy about it. I am even more unhappy that it cannot be publicly discussed.
