A lot of worthless information except for the income statistics. Rioting is a function of class more than it is a finction of ethnicity. People mired in the culture of poverty are more apt to riot than others. Riots exist in all countries and cultures when the social order breaks down. If you look at rioting in countries that are homogenpous you will find that it is the poor that riot or the lowest class. These are usually the people with less education and economic resources at their disposal. Middle class whites in America don't understand such factors because they have no clue. If you were living in a favella in rio de janeiro or a villa Miseria in Buenos Aires, you would riot too, if given the chance. Disasters and the breakdown of authority are too often an opportunity for the lowest class to vent their frustration at the world. Read a bit of history and you will see that race an rioting have nothing to do with each other, but class and education (the lack of it) is a common denominator.

And right you are in monocultural/monoracial societies, but not in multiracial/multicultural societies. In these latters the catalyst for rioting is often and primarily race.

What a load of rot.
When Bolsheviks rioted, they were led by educated Marxists sponsored by European bankers. This was politically driven.
When the Hutus rioted and slaughtered the Tutsis, one ethnic group slaughtered another ethnic group.
When Muslims rioted slaughtered 800 Hindus on trains, the Hindus returned the favor and slaughtered thousands of Muslims. This was religion against religion.

Poverty, class, lack of education are not the causes of riots. It is moral decadence that is the cause. Moral decadence is rampant among blacks after 40 years of the Great Society. Socialism and collectivism which create mobs are the root causes.
