Whoa now! You compare two continents, Europe and North America to a single little island nation of Japan and your conclusion is
White culture is prone to irrational violence"?
Maybe you are right, but you haven't made any case for that claim.
What is the murder rate for the whole of Africa?
What is the murder rate for the whole of Asia?
and
South America?
The top ten murder rate countries in the world are-
1- Honduras
2- South Africa
3- Swaziland
4-Columbia
5- Lesotho
6- Rwanda
7- Jamaica (Wow! Really?)
8- El Salvador
9- Venezuela
10- Bolivia
Hmmm. Honduras for example is 150/100K! South Africa is 120/100K, and South Africa also has the distinction of "Baby Rape Capital of the World".
I don't know if you can come to the conclusion that white culture is any more violent than any other culture. Seems to me, that human beings in general are pretty violent. It looks more like the Southern Hemisphere induces violent attitudes more so than some racial line.
Maybe it's geographical. LOL.
If you look at the US individually by state, you'll find that Louisiana, Nevada, New Mexico have the highest rates, and located well southern part of NA. Those three states were also ranked as the 3 most dangerous states to live in according to dangerous crime-
