Yep, nor do I feel guilty.
When you can guess the race of the 'victim' prior to seeing the story, are you being racist?
Its not as if it was a 50-50 chance or even a 75-25 chance.
So while many don't want to admit there are cultural differences which lead to negative behaviors of a higher percentage of a given race than other races, it doesn't make it less true.
While treating people based on racial stereotypes is grossly unfair, ignoring racial differences in culture is not productive either.
A concerned citizen who wants to help people should be looking at ways to prevent such anti-social behavior in said cultures rather than denying there are differences, not all of them good.
