Not quite, they were white frat boys so the rules are different.

Coulter's law. Let's wait until we see some video.

Only 8% of CU Boulder is black, 800 students, guaranteed the vast majority of them were white kids.

Boulder the city is even less diverse, they have so few black people that their own website only talks about the 5 top races, white 79.8% white hispanic 7.8%, non white Hispanic 3.8%, Asian 5.5% and native American 1.5%, which make up 98% of the population of their city.

The most liberal city in Colorado is the least diverse city in Colorado.

Only 13% of the US population is black. Given that they commit 56% of all violent crimes, if we presume the town has a large enough population to be statistically random, then we would expect about (8/13)*56 =~ 35% of the crimes in Boulder being committed by them. So there is about a 1/3 chance it was them, even though they only constitute 8% of the population there. And, we're not even taking into account that the "white" crime rate includes hispanics, so in reality the probability is much higher.

I can't argue with the math.

I live in CO and have been to Boulder lots of times though, the liberal white kids in that town are pretty crazy, like liberal white kids in Portland.
