Comment on Uber warns drivers against avoiding 'disadvantaged' areasparent

Isn't this overlap more due to poverty rather than "high-diversity" as you put it?

The actual cause of the overlap is probably due to [generational] poverty; diversity itself doesn't cause crime. I have no idea where you even read that in my comment.

I'm trying to point out that it is beneficial to some groups to frame it as only-crime (if trying to defend treating the area differently), and beneficial to other groups to treat it as only-diversity (if trying to punish those who treat the area differently).
