After seeing this I tried to look up murder statistics by race of murderer. I cannot find this anywhere for some reason. All I can find is murder statistics by race of victim.

Thanks. Looks like for murders it is about 50/50 whites and blacks. So blacks are overrepresented for their population, but it is nowhere near what is for pitbulls vs other dogs.

Blacks are about 13% of the population, while Whites are about 60%. The FBI counts Hispanics (mestizos) as White, so for the purposes of this table, it's more like 80%. If each group commits the same amount of murders, the former is still committing murders at six times the rate of the latter. The pibble comparison is more than fair.
