Also, I wouldn't frame it the way you framed it, but I don't think it is racist to say "I'm not surprised by a Black American having a criminal record". Not because Black Americans are predisposed to crime, but because they are targeted by overpolicing and system racism lmao.

Edit: 1/7ish Black American Men have been to prison. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5996985/#:~:text=We%20estimate%20that%203%20%25%20of,African%20American%20adult%20male%20population.
