White Serial Killers

[_beastie]

Since Droopy and bcspace seem unusually interested in African-American crime and problematic subgroups, I thought I'd give them a chance to show how fair and balanced they are by inviting them to discuss one particular gruesome and violent type of crime that is almost uniquely comprised of white males: serial killers.

What possible reason could there be for the fact that the vast majority of serial killers are white males? What is there in the larger white population that has possibly created this climate in which this particular problem grows? Should we be wary of white politicians who participate in creating this climate somehow?

Discuss!

You're correct, I should have researched the myth more.

Not to worry, I've got another one to use.

In Hungary, middle name is a rare phenomenon.*** This is why have we that few serial killer.

Even the old riddle ("What is common with John the Baptist and Winnie the Pooh --- their middle name") makes no sense. That two characters are "Keresztelő János" and "Micimackó" in Hungarian.
