? So there are no white criminals? No white gangs? Those skin head gangs, just a rumor? The Aryan brotherhood in our nation's prisons, pure fantasy? They are killing in other neighborhoods. They haven't killed anyone in yours so you pretend they don't exist? Or you don't want to acknowledge they exist? Or criminal behavior by people of color is somehow related to diversity but crime and murder by white people isn't? Or your old neighborhoods are declining in value (possibly) so a different socio economic class is moving in, possibly poorer people who are people of color? I'm not sure why you try to defend tying crime to cultural diversity. Respect for other people does not mean respecting criminal behavior. Perhaps a diverse nation has more problems with crime especially if people want to get ugly and try to cast whole races of people as being more inclined to criminality. How much is self fulfilling prophecy? How much is inequities in opportunity and education? I don't know. If you do, congratulations.

OH pshaw- there have been plenty of white gangs. They have assimilated as their social and economic conditions improved. Gangs are a product of a lot of economic, social crap. yadayada. You miss the point- and you won't try to see it, but prefer to try to diminish and insult me- and I say- PTUI. THere are gangs, they are scary as shit, they are formed on racial lines. But I WILL NOT equate being Asian, Hispanic, black or Aleutian as being in se the problem. I don't like the PC ghouls any more than you.
