Statistics say that while Whites/Caucasians commit more crimes than non-whites by sheer numbers alone, people state that statistics also say that by per capita calculation, African-Americans and Latinos commit more crimes overall than whites/Caucasians. Now based on rape/sexual assault statistics, it's obviously the same but according to per capita logic, Middle Eastern/Arabic, Southeast Asian men and Latino men are "more likely" to be sex offenders than Whites/Caucasians and any other groups.

The irony is that while I've encountered more than a ton of whites on the internet who judge minorities off of statistics alone, they keep pointing out how black men-on-white women sexual assault is the most likely to happen as if white women are the #1 victims of sexual assault yet according to US statistics, it's actually Native American women who are the most likely victims of sexual assault, even more so than white women.

The one important thing that while the US statistics can be reliable for most part, people need to understand is that even the US Statistics can't give you a 100% accurate assessment of things in general because of the amount of unreported crimes we have. In fact, studies say that sexual assault is the least reported crime in America so for those that will based their judgments on an entire race/ethnic group and/or gender and assume that either all minority males are rapists and the least likely victims or all males in general (regardless of ethnicity) are rapists and the least likely victims, consider this fact right here that people often ignorantly overlook.

I bring this topic up because as a Latino male, I'm often fed up with encountering idiots who often stereotype me as a perverted rapist, a wife beater or an uneducated thug just because "statistics says so".

I've seen a lot of questions lately with the OP being of a certain race trying to pander to the affections of white men, which always comes across as sad to me... mainly because it seems to always come from a place of desperation to move up the social ladder, which is all neatly concealed behind motives that appear innocent at face value (which is done in order to dodge open criticism). So now I'm kind of curious as to what people think of the question i've asked here.
