That comment wasn't really addressing anything you said, Shell.
It occurs to me that I don't have access to the kind of information that would make analyzing this any more than an opinion-based crap shoot. I'm not entirely certain that the statistics don't mirror general demographics. I did find an article from Scientific American that claimed such "The racial diversity of serial killers generally mirrors that of the overall U.S. population." However, it's not a scholarly article (it's an excerpt from a book), and the particular statement is not sourced.
(It also made the interesting claim that while women account for ~10% of homicides, they account for ~17% of serial homicides. That one is at least sourced, no idea on the quality of the source though.
