OK let ' s phrase it in another way . I ' ll change the parameters so it ' s more obvious to you . So you have two main problems . The first problem is kind of hard to describe because I don ' t really know why , but in statistics you are much likely to see extreme abnormalities in smaller populations . The higher the population , the more likely for its numbers to be normal . This one probably isn ' t very significant but id say it ' s worth mentioning . But anyway the second reason and probably the more dominant one is that when two populations of differing sizes are mixed , the smaller one will always have a higher interaction with the larger one . If in some hypothetical world 1 . instead of talking about killing people we were talking about people seeing each other And 2 . there was only 100 blue people in the entire us population . It would be expected that blue people would see more white people than white people would see blue people , right ? Because one blue person could see millions of white people walking down the street but it would be very unlikely to be a white person and see a blue person because there might not even be one in your state . I am not , in any way saying that black people are safer than white people . Black people do commit more crimes per capita and lots of other bad stuff and there ' s lots of reasons to explain why shit like that happens . But the fact is , the statistics will always be skewed against them because of these effects . It would be stupid to say blue people are better at spotting white people than white people are at spotting blue people because , well , it ' s harder for ANYONE to spot blue people and it ' s relative easy to find a white person . Does this make sense ? I ' m not really trying to detract from your racist agenda , because even if you were to strip away all the statistical bias black people would definitely end up worse than white people , but I ' m more pointing you that the statistics are biased and exaggerate the effect by a significant amount .
