   There's a lot more to it than simple math statistics.   
   For example, you will not find anything even close to resembling the   
   cities of Chicago or Detroit or even areas such as South Central LA in   
   the UK.   
      
   Talk to a black Brit and other than their outward appearance, there is   
   no noticeable difference between their culture and thinking and any   
   other average white Brit.  Much different from what you see from the   
   same demographic in the US.   
   There is also nowhere near the number of ILLEGAL immigrants in Britain   
   as there are in the US.  If Britain woke up one day and found   
   themselves having 20 million non English speaking immigrants who   
   refuse to assimilate into their culture and had no respect at all for   
   their laws it would be a catastrophe for the island nation.   
   Lastly the UK doesn't have the race hucksters that are continuously   
   preaching to a demographic of over 60 million minority citizens how   
   unfairly they are allegedly treated and inciting them to violence on a   
   near daily basis.   
   Just look at the problems the Euros are having with their muslim   
   refugee populations which consist of a relatively tiny number.   
   Imagine if they had over 3 million of them like the US in England or   
   France for example.   
   In America, if you look at the top 100 most crime free and safe cities   
   to live in, you'll find them to have homogenous populations with very   
   few minorities and virtually no poor.   
   Those cities have crime rates in many cases that are a fraction of   
   that of Britain.   
      
   There is no other nation in the world with the amount of diversity in   
   it's population that the US has.  There is really no comparison   
   between it and any European nation.   
   Their are socio-economic factors that are in play in the US unlike any   
   that will be found anywhere in Europe.   
   The US is also still the most free nation in the world and with such   
   freedom also comes risk.   
      
   The hard fact is that the US will never be like Britain, France,   
   Germany etc and trying to compare it to such nations is simply apples   
   to oranges.
