Why do people bring up crime statistics and other statistics for evidence of trying to bash certain RACES?

Question

Don't you know that the majority of people who take statistics in America are White people in America. There is no way they are gonna be fair about, giving true stats about all the races. Of course the race that takes the statistics want to make their own race look good.

I never said ALL whites, just MAJORITY. Not the same thing.

Actually according to the statistics I saw for the MCAT test Whites score better on test than every race. EVEN ASIANS. Actually if you do find a statistic that shows another race having better test scores than whites show me.
Thanks

Answer 1

lol certain races you mean our race. But they do so to uplife them. like they will post that blacks have the most sex,kids,aids,blah plus you can't go by thoes how many other races get tested for aids anyway? So we don't know the real numbers. But am a virgin,no kids and is in school plus am black and no crime record and am 19 so thoes numbers I don't go by just people with too much time on there hands focusing on blacks too much.

Hi Tina,
people do this to TRY and justify their views and opinions.
I'm white( through no design of myself) but i will never wear my skin tone ( or lack there of ) as a badge of honour it's just how I happen to be .. I think i'd feel the same if I were Black or Asian..

If people use those crime statistics ,to attack a race... they should be prepared to take into other statistics... such as the education of those committing those crimes, perhaps even their diets, their wealth ( or lack of ) and then compare THOSE stats across the board and see if other races have people who committ the same crimes..

ie the % of white people who earn $7,000 per annum and the % of other races .. Is it Income level rather than race that leads to increased crime.. (NB that is NOT saying poor people committ more crime, I'm just using that as an example)

also .. if these people keep going on about crime stats to bash other races .. DO they consider ALL crimes .. Who committs more White Collar Crime? What is the stero-typical ID for a Serial Killer

It's usually a low person that will use those stats .. because if they can't take into accounts what might cause those stats to be as high as they are.. well they most certainly aren't being fair or balanced in their debate

EDIT: Jason I'm white and I most certainly do not consider this question as bashing me .. BUT as a matter of interest ... anytime I have been involved in such a discussion it is ALWAYS a white person who brings it up.

You know what i understand what you are asking but Race has a lot to do what goes on in the world. Stats also shows that blacks are the only race that don't stick together. When things happens in the world people always say "oh u know that had to be a n199a". But to me i feel like if the black race loves its own kind then they wouldn't mind being true stats. It is all the way people take things. Some people don't believe in stats but I like stats because it shows me how the world is going and if whites and other races takes them to make there race look good then don't u think other races should try the same so that people might look at races differently?

The fact that you are discrediting the staticians, BECAUSE THEY ARE WHITE, makes YOU a racist. And heres a statistic for you miss, the majority of AMERICA is WHITE. Now im not trying to act like a rocket scientist, but if the majority of america is white (50% +) that means that there is a good chance that jobs may be more populated by white people with some exceptions. But you know, i am half white, so maybe i am wrong. What can i say, i am half caucasian, just living up to one of my halves as a racist man trying to bash other races.

Honey, you are bashing white people. Statistics are interesting but that is about it. For instance, Asian students are better at math and science than white students who are better at math and science than black students according to stats.

What does that tell you? Does it mean Asians are smarter? No, what it is really telling you is that Asian parents demand higher achievement from their kids. I know for a fact that there are high achieving white students and high achieving black students. The problem is not the students but parents. Believe me, pretty much every student can learn to do well at math and science regardless of their color.

I suggest everyone understand what the stats are telling you and do your part to address the shortcomings in your self and your kids. They do not reflect on natural ability.

I'd have to agree with you a little on that one. Only reason I say, 'a little' is because I have friends and relatives who are as white as I am do NOT say ANYTHING abusive to ANY other race. People are people. We love the Lord and He hates that so we're 'funny like dat'. Careful blaming ALL white people - you sound like you're contradicting your own statement. I can't say sorry for every white person's comments - everyone runs their own life. God Bless!

Answer 7

I get your point. Lets just hope they arent doing that. There are some of us white people who are fair to all races.

Answer 8

When people choose to hang on to a ridiculous notion like the sum of a persons character can be determined by their skin color they must grasp onto any "fact" that they think supports their claim.

Answer 9

hello as long as there are stats to be taken there will be lies but you have to cover your tracks with what you got. the best way to establish the lie is to keep repeating it and soon it will truer than life.

Bleck, racism makes me sick to my stomach. As a white male, I think the only reason for it is ignorance.
