Just sayin... you should link where that graph comes from.... having a hard time believing U.S. White is less gun homicides than France. Might be true... just like to see the data
I haven't done the numbers but according to this page from the Brookings Institution, they might be correct. It says this:
"The vast majority (77 percent) of white gun deaths are suicides; less than one in five (19 percent) is a homicide. These figures are nearly opposite in the black population, where only 14 percent of gun deaths are suicides but 82 percent are homicides."
They are counting all firearms deaths, not just homicides, so the "White Men" bar on the chart below would be lower.
