Okay, fine then, let’s apply that logic to my current state of residence, Wyoming.
Wyoming has the kind of demographics that would make a Klansman quiver all over with joy – practically all white. I think there’s maybe 100 black people in the whole state – and most of them were “imported” on sports scholarships to the various colleges.
Wyoming has unusually rampant rates of depression, substance abuse and suicide.
We can therefore conclude that white people are prone to getting drunk and shooting themselves.
| Excellent point. In Boston there is quite a bit of crime in Irish neighborhoods. The same went for Hell's Kitchen back in the day, which still has a significant Irish population. Hundreds of years ago, Ireland was a very poor country. Therefore, are the Irish violent people? Nope. 3/8 Irish, never been in trouble with the law.
