You don't have to verify the causality.
"media found out that africans and arabs were way, way over-represented in all [violent] crime categories" AND THEN "the Swedish crime prevention board (BRÅ) no longer publish crime statistics containing ethnic background information" is hilarious enough already.

Also, I sincerely doubt that those of African and Arab ethnicity are over-represented in all crime categories...tax fraud.

Oops, statistics are secret. Doh!
I would love to see a reference verifying the causality that you are implying when it comes to the decision to drop ethnicity from the statistics.
Also, I sincerely doubt that those of African and Arab ethnicity are over-represented in all crime categories. Violence, petty theft, sure, possibly. This is generally the category which the low-income portion of the population tends to dominate. But I think you will be hard pressed to find a document showing that the ethnics groups you are referencing are more prevalent when it comes to tax fraud.
