I live in Nashville.
Nashville is 26% black.
Legal latino population is around 8% which trust me indicates that if you include illegals then it has to be at least 2-3 times that.
hence the white population is probably more like 50-55% these days....hardly predominate.
And if you look at who commits the crimes at what rate then you will see how the problem lies in Nashville same as elsewhere.
Did you really think Nashville is in the top ten because whites are running around pell mell committing crimes like they are in East St Louis or Camden NJ?
If so you need to read up more. There are simply no cities in the nation where whites are repsonsible for large crime rates. None. If someone knows of one please pass it on.
and drunk in Anchorage or Fairbanks or Bangor in the winter does not count.
the only exceptions to the whites and crime stats might be the occasional rural town where local crackers run the dope and gambling and vices and have corrupted law and politics....the sorta stuff you see on 60 Minutes
but that does not translate into higher random victim crime rate...just more vice and corruption....the streets might be perfectly safe.
think Tracy City Tennessee or Hot Sprngs Arkansas 50 years ago or Biloxi Mississippi
I think the word you’re looking for is ‘predominant,’ not predominate. I understand that by asking your question initially, you were implying something. I based my answer on having watched several episodes of ‘COPS’.... lol. Most of their Nashville suspects are white and they are doozies. Sorry, I’ve never seen such lowlifes in my life, certainly not around here.
And Memphis is even worse, right?
However, it seems you are making the case that whites are proportionally responsible at a lower rate for street crime, but at a MUCH higher rate for “white collar” crime... correct?
Look at the article again. It’s very short, a sound bit really. I try to base my comments on the posted article. The claim that L.A. is a third world city, based on immigration statistics, is false.
We have had a high immigrant population ever since I can remember. Back mid-20th century, the white immigration was from the mid-West U.S. and black from the South U.S. In the late ‘70s and into the ‘80s, a huge influx from New York, mostly NYC. That started the trend to rudeness and bad traffic, IMO, plus elitist attitudes.
Mexicans have been here forever, and there are several-generation familias in East L.A. In public life, they assimilated like everyone else but had their own private life culture. No problema.
The Reagan amnesty brought the first flood of illegals, not only from Mexico but heavily from El Salvador, Nicaragua and Guatemala, many of the Central Americans being true refugees. There was, at first, resentment from the older Mexican American families towards the “pochos.”
California is the fifth largest economy in the world, and the largest food producer in the U.S. and has always needed farm labor. That’s another factor I’ll throw in.
Now the hi-tech industries need skilled workers. They come from India and Asia. I personally have an immigrant friend from Czech Republic, here 10 years and now a citizen. The 50% immigrant work force referred to in the news bite is not all Mexican or Hispanic, by any means.
Truth be told, the only growing influx to the U.S. I would truly worry about is Islamic.
