Why don't white people riot?

Ok...maybe it's the alcohol talking, but after much thought as a result of rampid boredom, I've come to realize that I can't remember one instance of white folks rioting. Sure, there were a few opportunists in the L.A. riots and some protesters at Berkley and Kent State in the 60's, but for the most part white folks stay out of it. To add to my theory, I popped in my copy of American History X (the movie that in every way and for every reason owns us all). All over the world you see riots in Asia, Africa, South America and whatnot that are usually born of some egrigious civil liberties violation, but almost all (I can't say all...I don't know that for a fact) of the riots you see in the U.S. are mostly on the part of minorities (Watts, Kent State, L.A., etc.). Perhaps it's that these people lack a sense of community. Perhaps it's because they know opportunism when they see it. I really don't know why but for some reason it angers me. When I get pissed I don't go out and loot stores and overturn cars. Please note that I intend for this for in no way to be racist...it's just my observation. Perhaps someone else can explain to me why these people want to ransack their own communities cuz it's a mystery to me.
