White people make up the largest portion of the United States population, and the absolute number of child abuse victims and perpetrators in the United States who are White is the highest among racial groups.

NOT BS — Verdict: True

The Short Version
Federal Census and child maltreatment data support the claim as stated. White people are the largest single racial group in the U.S., and official child welfare statistics show the highest absolute numbers of identified victims and perpetrators are also White when compared with other individual racial groups. The main caveat is that these figures come from administrative reporting, not a direct count of all abuse incidents.
Caveats
These child maltreatment figures are based on official reports or substantiated cases with race recorded, not every actual abuse incident in the country.
Race definitions matter: "White" may be reported as White alone or separated from Hispanic ethnicity, but it remains the largest single racial category under standard federal tabulations.
A notable share of perpetrator records have unknown race, so the ranking applies to identified racial groups in available administrative data.
