Racism is one of the sensitive topics in America. As you all know America is new country, it hasn't got so much historical background in their land compare to Europe and Asia. However, there is one thing which has big role in America's little history, which is racism. So people still cannot forget that. Whatever happens, even thought it has no connection people still find a way to connect with racism.
In the "Black Men and Public Space" article, things that happened to the black man, that can happen to everyone else. For example, in Turkey, I always lock my doors whenever, I drove car. Even in here, I would lock my car, be careful whenever I am walking alone, hold my bag if someone stand right behind me, white, yellow or black doesn't matter.
My point is, color is not important, if someone thinking to hurt you they can do it in every way. But we stuck with words, and appearance. Especially for Americans, every behavior is not about racism, but they cannot see any option.
Yes I agree there is still racist behaviors to some people, but everything is not just about that...

People came to America for equality, and then they produced another inequality. (leslie)
Think back the history, we know that the first group of puritans exiled England for equality and freedom, and then followed by all people from other countries for the same purpose.
However, when they accused the British of their inequality, they produced another inequality, racism, and it remains as the most notorious issue in America, the land of freedom. Few other countries in the world still have the issue of racism as serious as America. And now this racism is still infecting other new minority groups.
Even people from the countries with the longest history didn't notice it before they came to America. We are not sure whether it's the result of tradition, or the result of advance.
