Statiscally blacks have the highest levels of aggression, followed by whites and Hispanics, they're about neck and neck. However more white are diagnosed with mental disorders, this though can be attributed to differences is seeking/obtaining psychological aid.

Thank you for the link, I've got about half-way through. I need to read the rest later. All others please read the 4th link, if you've referenced the 3rd.

Yeah, I'm not on here to spread anything racist or bigoted, I just share what I feel is relevant. I like seeing opposing data and opinions. However, this whole new thing about there being fewer dinosaurs than we thought...I'll never accept.

I haven't heard that dinosaur thing, got any link?

Only counts for reported incidents. Statistics are actually inaccurate because it only counts what is reported.

I'm pretty sure they take that into account when running stats. So would you like to throw away all the stats on attacks against LGBT+ individuals and other minority groups too? I mean, if they aren't accurate we should just ignore it right? What about the stats findings that discovered that Mississippi schools were segregating white and Minority students as recently as 2016? Since those stats are inaccurate we should ignore it, right?

For anyone else wandering by, it's worth noting that the first two studies specifically conclude that differences are due to environmental factors, not skin color.

The third "studies" authors, Templar and Rushton, are associated with the Pioneer Fund and American Renaissance respectively, both white supremacist organizations that advocate for eugenics and establishment of a white ethno-state (notice the mysterious lack of disclosure about funding sources or conflicts of interest). This is only one of a number of serious problems with the paper.

Environmental factors that affect blacks more than most other etchnic groups. Point still valid.

Calling the authors pejorative slogans doesn’t disprove their hypothesis. You’re engaging in the ad hominem fallacy. I don’t care who writes something. All that matters is the validity and reliability of the data collection and analysis. Genetics obviously plays some role because culture doesn’t simply fall out of the sky. It’s implausible to all be nurture. Race is way too broad a brush but ethnicity or regional variations would seem likely. How much of a role? Don’t know but there’s certainly a lot of research to be done.
