Even if the majority of immigrants don't commit crimes, because groups are never equally distributed in any country, the per capita (usually per 100,000 people) statistic is the one we should look at. For instance, if migrants make up only 1% of a country's population, but represent 25% of rapists, then they have a greater amount of rapists per capita even though 25% is not the majority.

Your math don't add up here in America, especially not in NYC where it is immigrant majority. I'm pretty sure the crime rate in Germany is more or less the same too.

Like I said before, it takes less than 1% to cause people to lose their minds.. Forget about ebola, immigrants is the new rage right.

Of course my math doesn't add up because it was merely an example to explain what per capita is

And some groups of people are more prone to committing crimes than others. East Asian immigrants, for example, don't have this problem since their culture of origin runs on meritocracy and advocates for hard work. So I wouldn't say immigrants are the new rage, moreso bigotry of low expectations.

As if you would change your opinion on the matter if I could prove that my claim is correct, namely that in countries like Sweden, Norway, Finland and Germany, immigrants from outside of Europe commit 5-10 times more violent crime than natives.

To clarify, I mean violent crime as in robbery, assault, rape and murder.

Considering he cited a source that looked a crime statistics of immigrants from the US to justify his opinion about migrants that live in Europe, it's pretty damn obvious he's not going to change his mind.
