This is important. Some people are missing my point, which is that a lot of American violence statistics, particularly gun-related, are due to Black and Hispanic violent subcultures, which include a majority of the gang violence. This may not be politically correct, but it is a fact.

What is really interesting about this is that although this could be considered an ethnic issue, it is not really related to immigration, with the possible exception of some Hispanics. The Black subculture of violence is almost entirely home grown in America. The source of this pathology depends on who you ask. Black immigrants from Africa or other areas are typically not part of it, and integrate quite well into the mainstream.

I expected that Vancouver was missing these particular subcultures--at least so far--and I was right. Of course, Blacks and Hispanics have no monopoly on gang violence, and white and Asian gangs are also a problem in some areas.
