I've found that I am more of an "economicist" than I ever have been a racist. I don't make assumptions about someone based on their race, but I frequently do based on the way someone is dressed or how they walk or whatever.

If I see a group of kids in their late teens walking through a neighborhood dressed in gang clothes with their hats on backwards, I get nervous. I don't care what race they are. If I am in the mall and a couple black guys walk by, I don't notice more than if anyone else walks by.
