clearly people of white european heritage are the current majority in the united states, although not by much they still are the largest racial group in the nation, but suprisingly there are more minorities in prison than there are whites ( 64% of the us prison population is non white while 36% is white) so clearly minorities are more prone to crime, the statistics don't lie, my coments weren't racially motivated but based on THE FACTS, as to why there is more crime in the united states, we have a larger minority population who is obviously more prone to crime, based on the current statistics.
