Crime is directly related to socio-economic status.

True.

Therefore one can expect the Black and Hispanic crime rate to be higher than the national average and the Jewish and Asian crime rate to be lower than the national average.

True. Statistics tell us so.

Regardless of the underlying reason for blacks, per capita, committing crimes at a much higher rate, the fact that they do should not be ignored, as it very commonly is (particularly among liberals). Socio-economic status almost certainly plays a role, though all we know for sure is that socio-economic status is correlated with crime; not that there is a causative relationship.
