Are you aware of how little that really means in the USA ?
Blacks are still more likely to end up on death row, in fact they can be executed for crimes where a wealthy white person would not even be jailed.
In Australia the proportion of Aboriginals in prison is extraordinary.
You point at Mexican's rates as if there is meaning - many are locked up just for being Mexican.
HomicideAccording to the US Department of Justice, blacks accounted for 52.5% of homicide offenders from 1980 to 2008, with whites 45.3% and "Other" 2.2%. The offending rate for blacks was almost 8 times higher than whites, and the victim rate 6 times higher. Most homicides were intraracial, with 84% of white victims killed by whites, and 93% of black victims killed by blacks.
In 2013, African Americans accounted for 52.2% of all arrests for murder, and Whites accounted for 45.3%.
Victim surveysIn 1978, Michael Hindelang compared data from the National Crime Victimization Survey (then known as the National Crime Survey, or NCS) to data from the Uniform Crime Reports, both from 1974. He found that NCS data generally agreed with UCR data in regards to the percent of perpetrators of rape, robbery, and assault who were black.[48] For instance, Hindelang's analysis found that both the NCS and UCR estimated that 62% of robbery offenders were black in the United States in 1974. A 2004 National Crime Victimization Survey report which analyzed carjacking over 10 years found that carjacking victims identified 56% of offenders as black, 21% as white, and 16% as Native American or Asian.
HispanicsAccording to a 2009 report by the Pew Hispanic Center, in 2007 Latinos "accounted for 40% of all sentenced federal offenders-more than triple their share (13%) of the total U.S. adult population". This was an increase from 24% in 1991.
72% of the Latino offenders were not U.S. citizens
. For Hispanic offenders sentenced in federal courts, 48% were immigration offenses and 37% drug offenses. One reason for the large increase in immigration offenses is that they exclusively fall under federal jurisdiction.
Some of the ethnicities:
Race / Ethnicity Number % of U.S. population
Americans 308,745,538 100.0 %
Non-Hispanic White 196,817,552 63.7 %
Non-Hispanic Black 37,685,848 12.2 %
Non-Hispanic Asian 14,465,124 4.7 %
Hispanic or Latino 50,477,594 16.3 %
By any reckoning blacks and latinos are far more criminal than whites.
