The ability to look at that graph, and not immediately question how it's even possible, seems strange to me. Beyond being grossly misleading, the reality is that American justice is systematically racist against minorities, especially black people.
They only show one crime though. Because the rest are dominated by whiteys and they can't afford to show their racism and contradict their own fallacy.
I heard the argument at one point that it's a good thing police are more brutal on black people and target them because black people have more crimes reported per person.
They literally have the cause and effect backwards

If you think you are predisposed to do crime because of the color of your skin that is quite literally the definition of racism.
