This is a perilous line of thinking! Let's try it with race - "Black homicide rates are seven to eight times those of whites".

And yet, here in Latin America, there are posters in every major city decrying the crisis of "femicidio" (murder of women). Not because they are disproportionately victims (quite the opposite), but because that's what's interesting to the American NGOs that decide what political issues are trendy and important.
