Thank you for sharing this article. It shows evil exists in various shapes, forms and colors.

"6 Minorities Who Were Serial Killers in the Western Hemisphere" with just the title yo fuck up the MyTake.

I wanted it to be the US exclusively, but couldn't find enough good results. Google kept directing me back to Bundy and Dahmer.

So... you started writing the take before gathering all of your data and resources?

You do realize that you've just admitted to having cherry picked your data to suit an agenda, right?

Non-white "serial killers" get caught sooner because they have a lower IQ, thus the only serial killers by definition are white because they evaded capture long enough to have killed multiple people in separate instances.

[ObscuredBeyond]

Le Bestia bucked that trend though. Then again, he's from Colombia. So don't expect TruTV / Justice Network / Investigation Discovery / what-have-you to spend much time on him.

Other than that, I think one of the biggest determining factors is how creative a nickname the killer gets - and embraces.

Outside the French and/or Spanish-speaking world, "Le Bestia" just sounds weird. "Sunday Morning Slasher" is weak. "Brazilian Maniac" is too generic.

But when you have a name like BTK, Son-of-Sam, Jack the Ripper, Green River Killer, Doctor Death, or the Grim Sleeper... those nicknames make headlines.

Perhaps my favorite of these celebrity supervillains who's not a serial killer would be Marvin Heemeyer, aka Captain Killdozer. That nickname he earned sounds like it belongs to a Flash villain right out of the Silver Age, fighting Bat-Mite or something.

I never heard of any of these before. I heard of two different Hispanic guys and one Black guy that were serial killers before, and many White ones, but all of these you listed are new news to me.

[Alexias]

Wow my opinion has officially been changed courtesy of this listicle.

[GirlThatDraws]

Whoever thought the thought that non white serial killers need more attention needs to sit down, get off the computer, and reevaluate their life.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

I watch a lot of Forensic Files. The majority of the suspects and guilty are cacausian bloody psychos.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

* immense majority

Deliberate programming. Others are not to be mentioned much. That, and they like to stick to the ones with catchy names. Minorities who turn killer rarely go out of their way to fester an identity, and then play games with the cops. They simply try to keep at it and not be caught. The ones that get special features are the egomaniacs who adopt an alias and play games with cops on purpose. It makes for a much more sensational program, and further fits the profile consistent with fictional Hollywood psycho killers.

"We've fed you this idea of what a killer is. Now, here's a real-life example."

Sociologists are especially fascinated with Ed Gein, and anyone with an Ed Gein psychology. Most Hollywood slasher monsters are based on Ed Gein too.

[ObscuredBeyond]

Ed Gein-inspired villains in Hollywood (not exhaustive list):

- Hannibal Lecter
- Norman Bates (intended copycat)
- Leatherface (intended copycat)
- Michael Myers
- Jason Vorhees (to a limited degree)
- Sylar from Heroes (blatant Norman Bates knockoff, so a copy of a copy)
- Damien Fontelroy from Breakout Kings (to an extent)
- Dexter (to a limited extent)

And the list could probably go on and on.

aren't you a loving christian who always likes to preach his self righteousness over gag? yet here I find you, implying something like this

[Anonymous]

Oh, I remember you. You asked one of the... most intellectually poor questions I've ever read here. And now this.

[Anonymous]

I fail to see your point you sound very butt hurt. People like you keep racism alive by separating everyone from white people

[ObscuredBeyond]

Actually, the point was to demonstrate how media outlets subtly do that very thing, and to say: "Wait a minute! Here's what happens when you play that in reverse!" It becomes a lot more obvious when you flip it.

[Opinion Owner]

There is no need to play reverse people like you keep it alive

[ObscuredBeyond]

If there were any more projection coming from you, I'd think I was attached to one of those dream machines from Inception. :-p

[Anonymous]

I was already aware of these, but I don't know why you had to make a point of labeling them "non-white."

[BronzedAdonis]

another salty, butt-hurt white guy on GAG *sigh*

[Blonde401]

Ain't it 👏

[Anonymous]

Even though none were more serial than Hitler it's always good to know whites aren't the only maniacs in the world.

[worldscolide]

Never even heard of these. Good mytake!!

[Pink2000]

Anybody can be crazy.

[meganthemenace]

OJ Simpson ring a bell?

[ObscuredBeyond]

He only killed his wife and her lover (?) And then robbed a hotel room at gunpoint, without killing anyone. He's a rotten apple, yes. But he's not on par with the psychos on this list.

[meganthemenace]

They're all monsters, regardless

[Pink2000]

OJ didn't do it.

[sedrftvgyhujik]

Not the most cheery of subjects?

[Anonymous]

"Evil comes in all colors"... very well said!

[Deft_maiden]
