This is a statistical fact, not a stereotype.

Really? Where do I find the statistics that back that up?

There aren't any.

Rapist and their victims were likely to be of the same race. In rapes with one offender, about 7 of every 10 white victims were raped by a white offender and about 8 out of every 10 black victims were raped by a black offender. (U.S. Dept. Of Justice, Bureau of Justice Statistics, Female Victims of Violent Crime, NCJ - 126826, 1991)

You can look here for statistics: http://www.rainn.org/statistics.html#color

Some highlights: Victims:

- In 2001, there were 249,000 victims of rape, attempted rape or sexual assault. [2000 National Crime Victimization Survey. Bureau of Justice Statistics.]
- Of these 249,000, 102,000 were victims of sexual assault, 63,000 were victims of attempted rape, and 84,000 were victims of completed rape. [2000 NCVS.]
- Among people 12 and older, about 83.5% of the US population is white, and 82.5% of rape victims are white; 13.3% of victims are black, compared to 12.3% of the population; and 4.2% of both victims and the population are of other races. [2000 NCVS.]

Highlights: Perpetrators:

- The average age of rapists at arrest is 31. Fifty-two percent are white; twenty-two percent of imprisoned rapists report that they are married. [SOO, 1997]

And Here: http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/pub/ascii/soo.txt

-*The racial distribution of arrestees for rape is similar to the racial distribution for all violent UCR arrests--56% of arrestees for rape in 1995 were white, 42% were black, and 2% were of other races.

The FBI statistics on crime show that white on black rape is extremely rare, and black on white rape is extremely common.

BTW, I don't mean to imply agreement with the racist notion that all black men are lusting to rape "our wimmin." That's just stupid.

the FBI used to publish those statistics. But they stopped about 6-7 years ago. But I think the last time they published these stats it showed that about 100,000 white women are raped by black men in the US each year and that about 100 black women are raped by white men each year.
