Sorry, but there was no explanation. I cite statistics from the US government and he calls me stupid and biased because he doesn't like that I refer to these statistics. It just clashes with his reality or the dogmas he believes in.

In most Western countries the governments release stats about crimes committed by type and by citizenship or in case of the US by race.

I don't have to search for a pattern there that fits a "narrative", the statistics bluntly state which race commits most crimes in different categories.

If you don't like what these government stats show please feel free to share with us why you believe that we shouldn't use these stats. But I'm not interested in trading insults, so please keep the discussion civil and based on facts.
