White males make up the majority of known serials killers in US history. Of course, white males also comprise a higher portion of the US male population than any other single race.
There are also a number of black and Hispanic serial killers on record. No race is immune from producing psycho killers.
This is the percentage breakdown by race since 1900 in the US.
52.1 percent White
40.3 percent Black
6.1 percent Hispanic
0.7 percent Asian
0.8 percent Native American male

I don't know if Hannah Graham is the victim of a serial killer or not. Regardless, it's not smart to advise white women to be any more or less leary of one race than another -- just like it wouldn't be wise to advise black women to consider all white men safe simply because fewer black women have been murdered by serial killers than white women.
The same common sense safety measures should be exercised by all women of all races to minimize the chances of becoming a victim of opportunity for any predator.
