    Can you provide non-blog sources?

    Complaining about bias and then throwing out a random guys blog post is kinda embarrassing mate. Maybe you should delete your account.

      The main point is that flawed data collection is skewing the results. I don’t remember where to find the one with the mugshots to be honest.

      “In response to a directive by the U.S. Government’s Office of Management and Budget, the national UCR Program has expanded its data collection categories for race from four (White, Black, American Indian or Alaska Native, and Asian or Other Pacific Islander) to five (White, Black, American Indian or Alaska Native, Asian, and Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander). Also, the ethnicity categories have changed from “Hispanic” to “Hispanic or Latino Origin” and from “Non-Hispanic” to “Not of Hispanic or Latino Origin.” These changes will be reflected in data presented for 2013.”

        Getting back to your original point, is the idea that certain races commit more crimes a left versus right thing in your perspective? I’d like to clarify that before I look at fifteen year old data.

          I don’t really care about those statistics. I was just mentioning a notable mislabeling case. I don’t like racism, & I think we should move beyond the tribal battle stuff. If you want to call me racist, you can call me racist for supporting “freedom of association,” which would allow people to discriminate for arbitrary & goofy reasons. I support the coffee shop that didn’t want to serve the Israeli guy & the Christian baker who didn’t want to make a gay wedding cake.

          While it is true that certain races currently commit more crimes per capita, these are trends subject to change; I doubt they are inherent to ethnicity. This is likely caused by cultural factors, learned helplessness, Marxism (which teaches an ‘us versus them’ mentality), ingrained persecution complexes, & other whatnot.

          I also disagree with those who believe women shouldn’t vote simply because they currently lean toward social democrats. While I agree that social democracy leads to poverty and stagnation, I don’t think it’s inevitable that women will always vote for social democratic candidates.
