*** warning*** the following information may make you feel kinda dumb & ignorant https://owaahh.com/7-most-brutal-african-serial-killers/ Non-Latino White Americans (57.8%) Latino Americans (of any race) (18.7%) Black Americans (12.1%) Asian Americans (5.9%) Two or more races (4.1%) Native Americans (0.7%) Some other race (0.5%) Pacific Islander Americans (0.2%) It's almost like racial makeup of an area will impact the ratio of someone that's a "serial killer". Which this is actually the %'s If you ever wondered what were the percentages of race in the number of serial killers, then you’ve come to the right place. These numbers below reflect only information about serial killers race from United States. We used as a source: Radford University/FGCU Serial Killer Database As you can see in the table attached, Asian and Native american percentage remain pretty much constant along all decades analyzed, the shifting numbers are very visible in white and black serial killers. However, if we calculate the average for this data it looks like this: White Black Hispanic Asian Native American 59.21% 35.26% 4.08% 0.58% 0.90%
Why would that make me feel dumb and ignorant? More than half of sexual killers are white Caucasian. In simple terms.....most serial killers are white Caucasians.
"Caucasian" is racist. reported. Time to Phase Out "Caucasian" https://med.umn.edu/news-events/time-phase-out-caucasian
Not racist, just kinda dumb. When's the last time you heard "negroid" or "mongoloid"...why still use "caucasoid"? [and boom...that's how you take a thread to the D&D]
I just showed you statistics that the ratio of serial killers by ethnicity is the same ratio of ethnicity of the general population. Except for Asian males which are disproportionately lower. I’ll stand by my dumb and ignorant. My post above is not that hard to parse through. Reality: Contrary to popular mythology, not all serial killers are white. Serial killers span all racial and ethnic groups in the U.S. The racial diversity of serial killers generally mirrors that of the overall U.S. population. There are well documented cases of African-American, Latino and Asian-American serial killers. African-Americans comprise the largest racial minority group among serial killers, representing approximately 20 percent of the total. Significantly, however, only white, and normally male, serial killers such as Ted Bundy become popular culture icons. Although they are not household names like their infamous white counterparts, examples of prolific racial minority serial killers are Coral Eugene Watts, a black man from Michigan, known as the “Sunday Morning Slasher,” who murdered at least seventeen women in Michigan and Texas; Anthony Edward Sowell, a black man known as the “Cleveland Strangler” who kidnapped, raped and murdered eleven women in Ohio; and Rafael Resendez-Ramirez, a Mexican national known as the “Railroad Killer,” who killed as many as fifteen men and women in Kentucky, Texas, and Illinois.
I'm not talking ratios per population. Just saying most are white. Just like it says above Reality: Contrary to popular mythology, not all serial killers are white. Serial killers span all racial and ethnic groups. I'm not arguing that they are all white. It's just that more than 50% of serial killers are white. So, if I said I guessed he was white because they are the highest percentage. Dude, chill out.
This interesting. I have never seen it broken down that way, I don't think there actually was a myth about all serial killers being white but I did not know it matches demographics. I would like to know how the ratio is broken down, percentage of killers or number of victims killed by different ethnicity?
Dude, what is your problem? You take stuff too seriously if you are going get bent out of shape over my comment and ask me how dumb I feel by throwing stats at me. Your stats proved my point, that the majority of serial killers are white males. Oh, by the way, I've been around long enough to know that. I didn't need your stats. It's not rocket science. Also, I'm white, in case you wanted to think I was someone saying that because I was racist. I also don't try to ignore white crimes and just point out crimes by minorities like Trump and a bunch of his party. Let me guess....you like Trump?
@peleincubus I'd be real careful here and tread lightly . . . you don't know who you're dealing with here
Disappointing thread. Came here for serial killers. Found dudes (some unexpected, some not) bullying one of the site's few female posters instead.
There's some nastiness in this thread that is absolutely unnecessary. It's a thread about POS serial killers. Let's focus on hating them instead of ridiculous BBS squabbles that should be kept to the D&D where they belong.
