It might be the outcome of racist policies or general racist attitudes but they are statistically correct.

There is a high correlation between between ethnic or racial makeup of a certain area and crime and gun violence. I’m not sure simply handwaving this by calling everyone who points that out a ‘racist’ is the most productive attitude…

Generally the same applies to poverty though which is probably a more direct indicator than race.

Not the case in the US, poverty is a bad indicator, race is a good one.

Poorest white crime rates are lower than the richest blacks.
