If blacks and Hispanics commit crime at higher rates per capita, and there are more of them living here now, how can this be the case?

How about they changed the definition of crime? Like in California, they made shoplifting legal.

Same with New York City. Bank robber was arrested but then immediately released, and robbed another bank.

So there can't be any crime.... because they stopped recording it. Kinda like South Africa to be honest. There's a ton of murders that never get reported but the Police don't do anything about it.

Hmm I’m not sure how statistically significant this is. It probably makes a difference but a smaller difference. Seems like only petty crime can be brushed off. Interesting to note though.

Well here's the kicker. It can be significant because the same "woke" Left uses them to prove that systematic racism is everywhere.

For example, using New York again, there was a huge problem when it to came to fare evasion for the public transit. 90% of all those caught evading fare were black. How did the Left respond? Rather than say it's their fault, they call for the complete abolishment of making it a crime. And this phenomenon can be observed in other states. When a statistic looks disproportionately black, the solution they believe, is to just make it all free.

That should be the solution period, no need to have to use race as an excuse

It costs money to operate public transit. Either that money comes out of increasing taxes, or the system goes bankrupt.
