In NYC, when I was about 12, I was assaulted by some teenagers.
In NYC, when I was a young person going home from work, I was held up at knife-point and the people demanded I give them everything I had on me, including my money and watch and wallet. That happened to me twice on the subway.
When I was a bit older (30-something) I was accosted on the street on my way home, and was robbed of everything they could take.
All of those incidents were perpetrated by yound black kids and men. I was never assaulted or robbed by Hispanics or whites while I lived in NYC.
I’ll just leave it at that. (Draw your own conclusions)
BTW, I’m Hispanic and was engaged to a beautiful young black girl while I was in my twenties. My point is that, I was never a racist and I’m not one now, but, the crime statistics do point to a whole lot of trouble with young black kids and men.
bttt
In my time in NYC, I was mugged twice, both times by groups of black teens coming up from behind in a swarm attack.
My impression is that white people are a preferred target.
