Except Mayor Mike is wrong. In fact, he’s not even close. Since 2000, minorities have committed about 55% of the murders in this country while whites were responsible for about 45%.

For the US as a whole, yes. In Bloomberg's New York City, I think that 95% figure is probably accurate.

And the actual national figure for "minorities" (meaning blacks AND Hispanics) is higher. 2016 FBI homicide stats have blacks committing 52% of homicides, plus another 20% by Hispanics. In a "minority-majority" city like NYC, that means that minorities would account for the vast majority of homicides.

Actually hispanics in most surveys are included in the white/Caucasian category which is correct.
