99% White? What has that to do with bike theft?

  I'm all for discussing the different and various causes of that, and the comment you replied to is very awkwardly phrased but since you asked the question here is the beginning of an answer: Depending on the country statistics can help. In France 30-40% of theft are committed by foreigners, which only represent ~8% of the overall population. If you narrow down to specific areas it gets even more obvious, in Paris it's ~75% of thefts Out of these ~60% are from Africa/Middle east, the rest mostly from EU and non-EU Europe (mostly far east) or Asia. https://www.insee.fr/fr/statistiques/5763585?sommaire=5763633#tableau-figure1 https://www.insee.fr/fr/statistiques/5763585?sommaire=576363... https://www.valeursactuelles.com/societe/en-ile-de-france-93-des-vols-et-63-des-agressions-sexuelles-dans-les-transports-sont-le-fait-detrangers https://www.valeursactuelles.com/societe/en-ile-de-france-93...

    Well, but that's correlation and not causation. You (they) can't attribute the lack of theft to the performance of the melanocytes for certain population.

      Melanocyte, culture, poverty, mob mentality &c. everyone find an explanation that fit their narrative. All I know is that living in or visiting Paris from time to time is ... interesting, I know people who did a political 180 because of it. In the metro it's 90+% of thefts and 60+% of sexual assaults
