Now personally I follow the whole “judge by content of character” mindset
The problem is that when you do that, you end up judging a large portion of blacks as just generally shitty and undesirable to the point where it makes more sense to just not bother with the aggregate because the exceptions don't offset the costs of doing so.
I really wish it were otherwise, but reality is exceedingly unkind in this regard.
I get the point you are making (and dont blame someone who comes to that conclusion because there is ample evidence do so) but I’ll always give any individual a chance and maybe we become friends.
I don't disallow for that outcome, I just don't start with that as an expectation. I'll assume the worst and allow people to prove that assumption incorrect. Doesn't mean I have to be rude or hostile, just guarded initially.
Justified response to their collective behavior, but also another result of diversity. If people mostly kept to nations with their own kind, most of us would naturally be more trusting and accepting of other races out of ignorance of their worst representatives.

That is reasonable and nothing wrong with that
