Being suspicious of people in hoodies isn't racist ๐ if you only got nervous around black people in hoodies, then sure, but there's nothing wrong with being cautious of people who are concealing their identity. They might not be wearing it for that reason, but that's still something it does.
Sometimes people of color wear hoodies. i'm not saying being suspicious of hoodies themselves is racist, but if i'm suspicious of a POC in a hoodie, that's got some history and other implications tied to it.
