I think violent crime is more a result of large economic inequality, and the US loves to breed poverty. Brazil, for example, is also a country with a lot of economic inequality. And economic inequality can be the result of having many different ethnicities, combined with racism. The test here would be to compare the violent crime rate in cities with high ethnic diversity and high economic inequality, with cities with high diversity but low inequality. Or low diversity but high inequality.
