You can read that into one word? I think you are hearing what you want to hear. In the context of US politics, where socio-economic status IS strongly statistically correllated to race, and thus statistically correlated to socially constructed activities like crime, his comments (ie that he was acknowledging the statistical correlation BUT rejecting the reasoning that leads from a naive interpretation of that) make sense. Again, he is a creep but not an idiot. While on this argument, you are siding with those who are idiots. I'd prefer to be neither, thanks.
