In the 20th Century the major criminal groups in the US were all Roman Catholic;?
the Italians, the Irish, the Hispanics and the Poles: whilst the law abiding groups, the English, the German and the Nordic people were protestant in origin. Can anyone explain why this might be?
I do not understand the "racism" jibe but then, as it comes from people who can't spell, who could be expected to. It cannot be racist to point out that RC's provided the majority of the criminal groups in the 20Th C. To prove my anti-racist credentials I will point out that blacks did not become major crimes until the very end of the 20Th C and that is why I did not include them; they were mainly protestant, however.
