you're misinformed if you think poor people of different races commit equal numbers of crime, especially violent crime.
Come do social work in any emergency room in rural Ohio and fight the naked guys with swastikas tattooed on their chest. Violent codes are always more fun with dongs flying around.
White people commit way more crime over all because this country is full of dumb whites. Dumb everyone else too. Like 85% of all people. Our prisons are very diverse places because mass incarceration is how we are dealing with homelessness and mental illness as well as crime, most of which is economically driven. I repeat much of mental illness is economically driven. Per capita blacks commit more crimes, proportionately they are over represented in impoverished neighbors. This is due to policies like red lining and the bank loaning practices that prevented many black families from owning property and having generational wealth. Suburbs that are predominately black are not plagued by crime like urban ghettos containing poor blacks, Appalachian people, and central Americans.
Zip code is more important than race. My coworker is a 34 year old black guy medical doctor smartest dude in the room...dad's a doctor, went to Disney world so much as a kid he said it made him bored. Someone like me who grew up in a poor neighborhood and socialized into criminality is way more likely to commit a crime than him...despite my whiteness. But I'm Irish we might still be considered inferior too.
I feel like you make a lot of assumptions.

You have to be delusional to ignore a murder rate that is seven times higher among one race.
Privilege and status are code word for hating people that make good decisions. Its 4th grade mentality.
By similar quality statistics women make 75% of men in income. That number is garbage. You're not a good scientist.
