Not OP, but I come from a place where this is the case. Can confirm, it is a valid observation

Yeah. That’s almost as bad as claiming someone is racist because they performed a Nazi salute. Ohh wait …

You can know that, statistically, you are more likely to be mugged by a minority. And then there is also knowing that treating people badly based on those statistics just makes the problem worse.

Concluding that someone is a lesser human because of their skin color seems just as illogical to me as calling someone a racist because they drive a lifted truck. These things are completely unrelated.
