I went through a phase where I read a lot about this and I ended up concluding that African Americans aren't any more likely to engage in criminal activity than whites. It's uncertain but probable that common street crime occurs at very close to the same rate but whites are more likely to commit white collar crimes like fraud, embezzlement, illegal predatory lending and so on. So if you're judging an ethnicity strictly by proclivity to crime (assuming that's a negative) we don't really have the data to know for sure who's worse but it's my hypothesis that whites are more prone to criminal behavior. I wouldn't judge an ethnic group by this standard anyway. Contrary to race, religion is a belief system, and it's quite reasonable to hold a prejudice against people who proclaim to believe stupid and dangerous things, like Muslims.
