I always expect serial killers to be white. Weird.
I thought the same thing.
1960's; 71.9% white to 28.1% non-white
1970's; 62% white, 38% non-white
1980's; 54.6% white, 45.4 non-white.
In the 1990's, Blacks overtook Whites by 47.7% to 41.9% respectively with Hispanics coming on strong at 8.6% (up from .6% in the 1960's).
From 2000-2009, Blacks were at 56.6%, Whites 31.8% and Hispanics 10.7%*
Most serial killers stay within their own race when committing their crimes. It is well known that young, blonde white women are more apt to be on the news as victims of crime than any other "type" of person. Perhaps we don't hear about the Black serial killers because their victims are also Black?
