Speaking of laughable and flawed. The original poster has a valid point. As an example, let's say we did the stats and found that people of all ethnicities in say the lowest 10% or 20% of the US income bracket had the same level of violent crime. And as the income bracket moved up the rate of violent crime went down. If we also found that a income level were disproportionate by ethnicities (e.g. more blacks are poor). The numbers of violent crimes per capita by ethnicity could definitely be accounted for by a causative factor of income.
IIRC, and it's been awhile and the numbers looked to be fairly trustable but it was internet searches, not in depth research: there is a positive correlation between lower income and higher violent crime (I think past a certain income point it flattened out). When taking income into consideration, the violent crime rates still ended up being higher for blacks than for other ethnicities. This did indicate that income is not the only reason for the difference in violence rates. It does not indicate what other reason(s) cause the difference. I can think of a lot of possibilities: history of injustice, culture, racism by police/justice department, racism by mainstream society, genetics. I am sure there are many more I can not think of. Your "real world" is a lot more complicated than you are treating it.
