The average person discovers he is average.

Serial killers skew white, male, under middle age, have a developmental trauma, tend to work alone, have impulse control issue, lack of empathy and manipulative behavior. As compared to the general populace.

Serial killers skew white

This is one of those times where racism strikes again. Serial killers also skew towards killing those like them, so guess what was ignored for a long time? Right, suspicious deaths of black individuals, meaning our 'tracking' of serial killers had some pretty large dearths.

That's just because they picked it up from us Americans. Like the lions that learned gay sex.

Interesting implication, that black people aren't Americans.

Thanks for noticing. I was changing what I was thinking on the fly, going for something flippant and hopefully funny, kinda lost where I was initially going, and landed on a bit racist and bigoted. Alcohol may have also been involved, so I couldn't work up the motivation to add in a few more groups without going all word salad, or over the top.
