"Maybe black people get searched because they're obnoxious to cops" is a racist statement. Whether you think it is or not is relevant only to your self-image.
And I acknowledge there are people who play the race card where it's inappropriate, and that there are Karens of every colour. But I also know racist talk when I hear it.

Yeah, statistics count as evidence that non-whites get searched without a reason being given more than whites. Not sure what evidence you'd accept, but I'm guessing it would be impossible to convince you.
In contrast to the statistics, all you have is 'blame the victim' arguments. Which are, as I pointed out, in themselves racist.
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.
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.
