"If I were you, I could use this to imply that white people are violent knife fighters who shouldn't be allowed to drink beer. "

I see you have decided ignore incarceration rates.

What exactly about them. That there's more nonwhite people in prison than white people. There's also more poor people in prison than rich people. There's more uneducated people in prison that college graduates or PhDs. To you the stats say nonwhites are bad people, to a liberal they say that disproportionate wealth distribution forced their hand to crime. Same statistics, totally different interpretations because statistics alone give no context. Absent a context, you can provide any context you like, then use that stats as evidence. This is simply lying with statistics to support your biases.

I'm curious though... what exactly do these rates say to you. That nonwhite people are somehow inherently evil, inclined to a life of crime, less capable of being good and civilized. Make yourself clear.
