Quote from max401:
There is a natural tendency for man to congregate and be within a protectorate of his own "group" whether that be defined by color, religion or origin. The direct root cause of the numbers related to crime/race is simply racism. Unfortunately, imo, this is an immutable circumstance at some level, i.e. the PC white suburbanite that secretly cringes at the thought of his daughter or son with a non-white partner, at one end and the white supremacist at the other. What is the solution? I don't think there will ever be a totally effective one, unless the human race can somehow mutate out of it.
This is a good point... various studies have actually shown that, as we progress through the centuries, humanity will eventually end up as a pretty homogeneous olive-skinned entity... once we all look the same, some of the reasons that people use to hate will have been eliminated...
