Like Bridge Player said, I made a statement of correlation, not causation. And you're apparently sticking to it. Like I said to BP, causation is an irrelevant concept in that context. Causation is a red herring. I tried hard to avoid the word and only used it to accommodate you and further the discussion. (One of the first things you learn in facilitator/arbitrator training is to use the words the parties give you.) The eyeballed correlation of a group trait is what's known as a stereotype. Negative stereotyping of minority groups is... Would you then make the leap to conclude that I'm saying poor reading skills causes kids to misbehave in school? Not a good analogy.
