You haven't been paying attention. Coulter's "demographic problem" justifies this by White Guilt. In simple terms, it's Obama's fault.
Yes partly true - I think she is just a idiot racists - what I feel she is trying to do is to diffuse , the gun control movement and place blame on a race issue.
She is pulling a page from Fox News play book = only give just a small bit of truth and lie about everything else or totally distort it.
She is right demographically that (whites) are raked lower in gun related crimes . While Blacks and Hispanics ranked at the top 2 <-- mind you these include all crimes such a drive by shootings and drug related crimes, so demographically their statistics would be much much higher. - she does not mention that.
What she does not also mention; Serial killers 9 out of 10 are white - mass murders by the mentally disturbed are also mostly white ( I am to lazy to check numbers) but includes hostage taking , like guy breaks up with wife then shoots family.

She's no idiot at all. She knows perfectly well that that kind of talk will be very popular among the group of people who listen to the FOX-Limbaugh crap and keep her coming to those TV spots that make her bucks. Just as important for her, they buy her books. More money there.
Her crap also plays into the agenda of the right wing because it makes it possible for other people to say/think/do stuff that wouldn't have been possible just 20 years ago.

I watched her video on Hannity. And I get a slightly different take.
She doesent say, "race problem" she says "demographic problem" which follows directly after her comment about that the president's appointees were all "white men". She then ges directly into her saying that she was just in England where she says that they haven't "bought into the diversity enthusiasm " followed by her comment on that maybe It might be a demographic problem. She says this in typical coulter flippant way as if she is containing with her sarcastic approach.
As every one has done here, others have taken the murder stats in England and Belgium and the US and screwed with them to apply here.
She has always been over the top in her approach . She does this to make a point, mostly.

True dat. Her, Limbaugh, Savage, Hannity, Beck... All very intelligent people. And all profit-driven. You could say that they're ideologically driven, too. But only by an ideology that plays — and pays — well among an uninformed, paranoid base of zealots. If any of these mouthpieces saw an opportunity for a bigger payday by pushing a moderate or even left wing agenda, they's be on it like stink on sh!t.
