| Sure, but there are plenty of other uncomfortable truths too. White people are way over represented on arrests for alcohol-related crimes, whereas Black people are in-line with population, for example. [0,1] Black people are way more likely to be arrested for loitering and curfew violations too (I was unaware that's even a crime category in the US). Let's also not ignore that White people over-index on sex-crimes. Adding to that, black people are also the victim of a disproportionate amount of crimes [2] Overall, the point I'm making is the problem with your statements is the intellectually lazy framing. I agree it's a major problem that black people are arrested for violent crimes at a disproportionate rate, but let's look at the problem wholistically, otherwise we aren't fulfilling the point of this forum. It is just as important of a question to understand any racial disparities in data, not just the ones that get people riled up online.

Yep, especially here in Wisconsin! I rarely drink, and find the whole culture around drinking here distasteful. I don't see the relation to Kia thefts, though.

Yes, crimes we can't freely discuss because of who commits them, another reason why obfuscation of the problem is harmful.
