Whites are convicted of fraud far more often than any other race:

It's not the absolute numbers that matter, it's the proportional ones.


That's right, and in that statistic it shows that 66% of people arrested for fraud are white, which is not disproportionately low, and only 1% of those arrested are Asian. I mean from the raw numbers provided by the FBI it's impossible to conclude if there is a bias or not, since only a minority of the cases where people are arrested for fraud are high profile.


What do you mean?
