The US contains different proportions of black, white, and so on - about 12.1% black and 57.8% white, so these numbers are misleading. If we correct for these demographic ratios, this data shows that blacks are more likely to be perpetrators - 27%/12% = 2.25, 57%/57.8% = 0.98 https://www.npr.org/2021/08/13/1014710483/2020-census-data-us-race-ethnicity-diversity
