When I take HotD's statistic of:
This is the percentage (of serial killers) breakdown by race since 1900 in the US.
52.1 percent White
40.3 percent Black
And measure it against Six's statistic where Blacks comprise 17% of the population I get that the occurrence of black serial killers is really greater than White serial killers (as a percentage within their own population). Whites out number Blacks by 3.7 to 1in the US. This indicates that if Blacks were equal in number to Whites they would easily be topping the chart.
