There are primarily cultural issues, along with DNA traits that influence who we are, but the common denominator of men in prison is that they grew up in homes without their father present.

Yes, I agree, but I wish to add one caveat. The Eastern culture, especially in the literal East or Asia, forbids racism. Not by teaching children it's a bad thing. But by not allowing any other race in their countries. Take Japan as an example; try to immigrate as a white person, let alone a black. It's hard for whites to immigrate. Japan understands the race problem and its sources.

It is not just the culture . As someone mentioned here, there are DNA traits. DNA traits in a population of humans is called RACE. Sorry , don't shoot the messenger.

People are not like computers , ie common hardware in which one can install software (culture) at will. They are hardwired differently. For better or for worse.

Stephen Gardner had an interesting show with Larry Elder. Elder talked about the fatherless factor and the results from that. The family makes all the difference as seen in the Asian families and Latino families.

The way I heard it, the asian stats are because asians (at least some of them) are honorary whites. Which is also why it's acceptable to beat them in the streets, much to the chagrin of asians in west coast cities.
