The reason why I posted fewer results for the last two searches is because most of the Google results did not directly talk about a crisis in those groups.

Black folks have issues–we know that and yes we do need to talk about it. But it is very interesting to see things like high divorce rates, abortion, crime, teen sex, etc. in other groups do not get the “crisis” treatment.
