Your conflating the two. The typical American serial killer is white, but most serial killers are not cannibals. Of those serial killers who are cannibals, they are not exclusively white: Issei Sagawa and Jose Luis Calva, for example.American serial killers and cannibals are almost exclusively white.
And no, cannibals in general are not almost exclusively white. Cannibalism has been reported in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Liberia and Sierra Leone. In the 1980s, for example the existence of cannibalism on a wide scale in Liberia was subsequently verified.
In 2007, the UN reported that sexual atrocities against Congolese women go "far beyond rape" and include sexual slavery, forced incest, fistula mutilation of genitals with sharp objects, and cannibalism.
Reports of cannibalism were reported against the Seleka Muslims during the ongoing Central African Republic conflict, as well as cannibalism during the Sudanese Civil war. Idi Amin was reputed to practice cannibalism. Cannibalism was reported by the journalist Neil Davis during the South East Asian wars of the 1960s and 1970s and Cambodian troops ritually ate portions of the slain enemy, typically the liver. There are competing claims about how widespread cannibalism was in North Korea. While refugees reported that it was widespread,[149] in her 2010 book, Nothing to Envy: Ordinary Lives in North Korea, Barbara Demick wrote that it did not seem to be.
Cannibalism has been reported in China and India, as well as North Korea.
The Korowai tribe of south-eastern Papua could be one of the last surviving tribes in the world engaging in cannibalism. A local cannibal cult killed and ate victims as late as 2012.
