No, it isn't. It's not hateful, it's not discriminatory, it's not a statement of superiority. It's speculation that might or might not be accurate. Like I say, if you think that comment is racism, you don't understand racism.

Yeah, statistics count as evidence
Statistics do not tell us why something is happening, and the why is extremely important when it comes to racism.

In contrast to the statistics, all you have is 'blame the victim' arguments. Which are, as I pointed out, in themselves racist.
I didn't "blame the victim". For a start, I said "maybe", as in speculation. And secondly, you're not a victim just because a cop asked you what you're doing.

People who think they aren't racist because they don't go around beating up people of a different colour, while at the same time say racist shit and try to stick up for racist cops, are still racists in my book.
Your book is stupid.

You don't have to do physical violence to a POC to be a racist, if you condone racist behaviour and make excuses for it, that's enough.
I'm not condoning racist behaviour. I'm speculating as to why allegedly racist behaviour might not be racist. You just really, really want me to be racist because that's what lefties do when they can't get into the head of someone who doesn't knee jerk into racism at the first opportunity.
