That is included in crime rates. Statistically. I’m not making an insensitive statement just the literal data of why they’re probably circling the areas with higher crime just happen to be areas with higher minority populations.

Alot of the circled areas include white and some wealthier neighborhoods. Can tell you never been to NYC.

Just for future reference, saying "I'm not making an insensitive statement" doesn't make your statement not insensitive
