Why are the Countries Primarily Made of Black and Brown People the Most Dangerous?
Have you considered exploring what other variables distinguish different nations or regions on your list? Perhaps look at GDP per capita/poverty rates, stratification and Gini coefficients, things like that. You could also stray away from the quantitative a bit and consider recent history, the strength and structure of political institutions in those nations, and things to that effect.
The USA started out in dire straits and built itself up! Germany was nearly leveled as a country. The Arabia peninsula country, while wealthy in oil, have low GDP, high poverty rates, lower literacy rates etc and they aren't violent places (murders per 100,000 that is).
Haiti was the 2nd nation to gain independence in the Western Hemisphere, yet they are always the armpit of the Western Hemisphere. Why do these countries and people never seem to take a step forward.
As for GDP! Mexico and Brazil have high GDPs, but they are utterly violent places! Especially Brazil!
Your theories stink of the liberal philosophy that people (esp minorities) do not have to take responsibility for their own misfortunes. That they can blame others, esp the white man!
