I don't know about figures, but I do know that in America, people of color are more likely to go to prison and be victims of domestic violence. Don't know about the suicide rate, though (the only statistic that comes to mind is that LGBT teens are more likely to commit suicide than heterosexual teens. No surprise there.)
I do think that it's the natural result of hundreds of years of neglect and abuse. Really, one couldn't expect anything else. And one certainly can't expect major changes now, I'm afraid. Sometimes, you need to wait a while to see improvement. I believe it'll be a gradual thing, bit by bit, and not something drastic.
