Regarding the color of people arrested in the US; there is a correlation between doing crime, and being arrested. By my estimate, perhaps 2% of incarcerated people are innocent. Mostly our jails are populated with criminals, not people caught wearing the wrong skin.

I don't really see the relevancy of keeping track of the self-identified skin color of the person doing the murdering. It's wrong regardless of the color. The family and community that raises murderers is responsible to instill pro-social behavior, regardless of color.

I dated a girl who had purchased a brand new Chevy Aveo; the worst car in America. After 2 years of ownership, she let a dealer talk her into buying a brand new Aveo in a color she liked better and taking her "old" car as a trade-in. This, after consulting with me first. That's when I knew the relationship wasn't going to last.
