When you say "inherent qualities" it sounds like you're suggesting that they can't help themselves. Like they are genetically, or at least culturally, pre-disposed to crime. I would describe that as racist thinking.

I see black people as victims of their own culture. At least in my mind, that's a little bit different.

But as I said earlier, it would not surprise me if someone looks at my line of thinking and calls it "racist". And if that ends up being the communally accepted definition of racism. Then, I'm a racist.
