I reckon that, if you took the crime and prison statistics from pre-1939 (WWII triggered a home-front crime wave, by all accounts and would distort the comparison process), when the non-indigenous population was less than 1%, you would find correlations suggesting that criminals came from a background of either financial poverty, poor educational achievement, or both.
This is before any of them repeatedly heard the phrase "sorry that position had been filled", referring to the job advert in the window.
The white underclass has been replaced/displaced by an immigrant underclass and they could only afford to move into areas which were long-term run down, low rent areas, so the geography of poverty today may have echoes of pre-WWII. (Give or take that the poor lived near factories and docks, which got bombed, before the urban planners finished the job).
Those of us who are born into the middle class know that even trivial teenage misdemeanors will ruin our career opportunities for life. The underclass learns that lesson after it is already too late. As non-criminal opportunity doors slam closed on them, there's only one route left for them. (Not an excuse, just a bald statement of where they end up).
Highlighting the criminality of the worst of their number comes across as a shameful attempt to associate criminality with ethnicity.
It doesn't work on most of us. Except that some of us may feel ashamed of being the same colour as you.
If associating criminality with ethnicity is NOT what you are attempting to do then please feel free to add a disclaimer to that effect.
No-one disputes that "some white people are bad". No-one disputes that some ethnic minority people are bad. But we dispute that *all* the latter are bad, which is the only reason your threads get so much attention, give or take the mutual appreciation society postings.
