It's a similar proportion to school shooters. Why are white men so angry, and why do they have to take it out on other people?
I am angry, but I don't get violent.

Perhaps white men DON'T make up the biggest proportion of serial killers. Maybe they just happen to get caught more than serial killers of other races. Did you ever think about that? No? Of course not! I'll continue later, I'm hungry.....

First, there are numerous serial killers who are women. It says something about how we perceive serial killers that the nurse who has offed 12 patients isn't considered a serial killer by many. Also, I think what the OP means is "Why are mist serial killers *in the USA* white men?" Obviously, this would not be true in Korea, Honduras, or Nigeria.

More specifically, why are almost all high-profile cases of men who kill their wives and/or kids middle-class white men? the type you'd never believe would be capable of doing such a thing. Nearly.every.time.
I had a black female friend who harrumphed at the story of Scott Peterson and the others like him. 'You don't see black men killing their women and running around acting like they didn't do it, like that dude. They can't be bothered - they just leave and start another family someplace else, easy peasy.' She thought it was nuts.

White men have more arrogance and confidence because that's how society is set up. As women or Black people become more equal, I would expect to see more multiple killers from them for example. Joanna Dennehy for example is extremely rare as a serial killer but it's hard to imagine someone like her operating in the 1960s or 70s.

R6, you mean family annihilators? Definitely a middle-class white male thing. But black men do kill their children and wives/girlfriends. Usually it’s the result of domestic violence and not exactly premeditated.

I think there are some serial killers in the medical community who fly under the radar. There is a nurse in England, Lucy Letby, who is accused of being responsible for the deaths of 8 babies and attempts at 10 others. She’s a pretty young blonde woman. She goes on trial next year.
Those are the scariest kind, by far.

There's a straight white male Millennial at my job who tried desperately to overthrow the director and get other high ranking positions and it has become finally clear to everyone (including probably himself) that at the top he is perceived as a stupid poser. I'm now worried as we return to inperson work that he's going to go postal and kill us all.

I guess you can say the answer is a simple numbers game. But I also think that serial killers tend to be white men, because to be a serial killer you really need to be able to blend into the background or put your victim at ease before you do your serial killing stuff. White guys are just easier at blending into the background. And we've seen those hidden camera things on 20/20, people will stop to help a white guy, but will drive past a black guy. And if you're a good looking white guy, hell, you can literally get away with murder. No one ever suspects a hot white guy of having bodies in his trunk.

Re their race, that sounds about right, given that whites are about 60.1% of the population (last week's big take from the latest census), and that's today, after it's been decreasing over the decades. Sounds like, among those apprehended, whites are underrepresented.

Serial killers and spree killers are different animals. The police work and tech today makes it harder for serial killers to kill more than a couple of people before they are caught. In the past, usually the killer had at least one prior close call on being found out (e.g., Dahmer stopped for broken tail light with body in trunk, Green River Killer listed as possible suspect and questioned but didn't fit profile) but managed to remain undetected. Sometimes the cops catch them by accident (Cody Legebokoff). But mostly it's solid investigative tech.

That's a common myth, OP, but according to Scientific American it's not true:
[quote] Myth #2: All Serial Killers Are Caucasian.
[quote]Reality: Contrary to popular mythology, not all serial killers are white. Serial killers span all racial and ethnic groups in the U.S. The racial diversity of serial killers generally mirrors that of the overall U.S. population. There are well documented cases of African-American, Latino and Asian-American serial killers. [bold]African-Americans comprise the largest racial minority group among serial killers, representing approximately 20 percent of the total.[/bold] Significantly, however, only white, and normally male, serial killers such as Ted Bundy become popular culture icons.
Keep in mind that only [bold]14.2%[/bold] of the US population if African-American. So that means African Americans are significantly over-represented among serial killers.
