Because everyone is racist and biased and the most racist people are the ones who claim they are not racist.
white guy driving down the street less likely to get pulled over
white person in store less likely to get watched by security guards
white guy attacks a black guy and will probably get charged with a hate crime
black guy yells racial slurs while attacking white person and it is highly unlikely he will get charged with a hate crime and the media will cover it up
black guy incites a riot and media tries covering it up at first but even when the video gets out there are no charges
white guy incites a riot and it will be headline news 24/7 and of course he will get charged with a crime.
And lets not even get into the differences of how the media and law enforcement treat men and women who commit the same exact crimes.
Humans are biased and always will be. Depending on the situation most people treat it much differently based on skin color and gender.
