Economic class and social class are different things, although one can affect the other to a degree. You observe similar criminality trends in African immigrants to Japan compared to the other immigrant groups (including Europeans and Americans), for example. The only exception is the Brazilians, who were brought in as low class workers, have a MUCH higher crime rate, have trouble renting outside of low-income areas, can't get high class jobs, and are generally treated like criminals on-sight. Germany has a similar problem with their Turkish population. And it's not restricted to skin color, either. Low class culture takes generations to clean out. I've had a number of dealings with shady descendants of American-Italian immigrants, many in high level financial market jobs. This is fallout from the exclusion of Italian immigrants from the higher classes in the early 20th century, which led to an undercurrent of criminality in their culture (not to mention their good positioning during alcohol prohibition, gambling prohibition, and later drug prohibition). Cultural currents take multiple generations to steer, which leaves one with many chickens coming home to roost after treating a class of people like shit for so long.
