Too bad this doesn't read like this:

"Latinos are the most likely to say that they'd like someone to give 
more than two shits about the problem that, due to having a persistent 
economic underclass in the US, many young men find underground 
black-market economies more attractive than "minimum wage" jobs (which 
are increasingly unavailable anyway) and where, by their very nature, 
extreme violence is used to support the criminal enterprise.  Latinos 
are more than twice as likely to die of gun-related violence as white 
Americans, and African Americans are more than five times as likely to 
die from gun violence as whites ..."
