It's always poor people, people like to make it about race because then you can blame something other than your society.

E.g., in my country, the concept of the "warrior gene" proved popular with people who like to think that the reason Māori are overrepresented in crime statistics is their fault. When they're overrepresented in every negative social measure, especially poverty. Nothing to do with colonisation, land theft and a century of deliberate destruction of their culture and social structure, nope, it's all them.

(And Sweden's issues with refugees are Sweden's fault, not that of the refugees)
