Suppose you put 1 black guy and 8 white guys in a room. This is the approximate proportion of the population as a whole. If the black guy commits a random crime, there is a 100% chance of it being against a white guy. When a white guy commits a crime, there will be a 1-8 chance that it will be against the black guy. This does not mean that the black is targeting whites.

"This does not mean that the black is targeting whites."

Statistically-speaking, on a per-capita basis, there is significantly more Black-on-White crime than White-on-Black crime...call it "targeting" or not, them's the facts.

Nor does it mean that the whites are targeting blacks, but that sort of logic produced hate crime legislation.
