So Nazis are posting about Black serial killer Samuel Little and claiming that "all serial killers are white" is an anti-white myth. So it's time for debunking. Yes, it's a myth that all serial killers are white, but it's a myth that only serves white supremacy. (thread)

Any serious sociological study will show that when controlled for other factors, the rates of seral murder are pretty evenly dispersed across ethnicity in the US. Murder is linked strongly to gender however, both in the US and worldwide - men always murder much more than women.

So why is there a perception, both among white people and POC, that serial killers are only white men? The basic reason is that these kinds of murderers get such a high body count because they go for easy targets. Easy targets are 1) close in proximity and 2) will not be missed.

Marginalized women of color, especially survival sex workers, are especially easy targets. And within that group Black women and Native women have been especially targeted. These are also the women whose lives are least valued by our racist society.

So Black serial killers like Little or Anthony Sowell the Cleveland Stranger operated for years under the radar. If they were white and had targeted women of a higher social standing, they would have been caught sooner and more lives would have been saved.
