what does "perceived race" mean? are these crimes counting things like burglaries where most honkies are gonna blame a darkie?

I find topics on any prejudice pretty fascinating because no matter how unprejudiced I strive to be, I know that I have a shitton of prejudices and am sure that I act on them.

I also find it bizarre how people are generally afraid to own up to the fact that many stereotypes exist because there is some truth to them.
