Statistics and 'labels' will often lie. If you ever read a police blotter website like the one for Brevard County, Florida one thing begins to stand out. MOST with obviously Latin features and names like Rodriguez and Aurelio are listed as 'white' not 'Hispanic'. Easily half or more are listed this way meaning the crimes they commit are attributed to whites as well. I'd love to see some statistics that showed just 'Euro-Americans', I'm betting they would make an even starker comparison to the 13%.
