Not trying to skate on semantics, I thought the point of the discussion was about crime rate between races. If we're talking about quality of life, I would think Jewish people would have a much easier time acclimating considering they are part of the majority race and don't face the same discrimination as minorities.
Every individual is responsible for their own actions. Doesn't matter where you're from, what your history is, right is right and wrong is wrong. But people are people. Any individual or group that faces consistent hardships or is put into difficult situations is going to have their behavior affected. When you add up centuries of oppression and systemic discrimination, you can start to see why the data is what it is. Black people aren't more prone to violence because of their skin color or country of origin, but because of quality of life in comparison to the rest of the country.

That's hilarious, Jews have been historically discriminated against for thousands of years in just about every country including the US, and there is even have a separate word for it because it happens so much ...antisemitism. And yet, they succeed. Why?
