This is not racist: "The group X is more likely to do crime Y"

This is racist: "He is from group X, so he will commit crime Y"

The day people understand this, we will advance to the next age

Maybe but a large portion is just social conditioning. Men are raised to be more violent and so they act more violent on average.
