you can also locate statistics showing that whites commit more crimes (blue collar and white collar) than blacks, hispanics, asains and mixed people.

LOL not per capita. Did you even look at the table? Blacks make up 13% of the US population... but commit over 50% of all Murders and nonnegligent manslaughters.

Fuck off.

As I've mentioned, you're using only one factor. You've inored the examples I note above. You're also not considering economic differences. Many people in poverty also commit crimes. Moreover, whites, who tend to be wealthier, commit 45.8% of Murders and nonnegligent manslaughters . Whereas poverty explains many crimes by blacks, many whites NOT in poverty commit almost the same percentage of crimes. There are other factors to consider, but you can see here that your myopic example doesn't work.
