Re: Yes, among our minority population but when comparing American whites to European whites, the differences are not great at all. How can you tell? Most, if not all, European countries don't break down crime statistics into "white" and "nonwhite" subcategories... I know this is going to come as a real shocker to you.......most European countries are less than 5% non white. Even if the non white populations were made up of notorious criminals, the country crime statistics would hardly be effected. Hence your comparison is flawed as you've compared the US white homicide rate with, say, France's homicide rate where the latter encompasses both white and nonwhite/minority cases.... France is probably the only country that a closer look may be warranted since their non white population is somewhere between 5-10% of the total population. Besides, according to FBI statistics, white-on-white homicides have usually outnumbered black-on-black and black-on-white homicides: Yes, of course. Whites make up 80% of the population. Blacks only 10%. Whites have more homicides; however, the black rate of homicide is many times higher.
