I never said it wasn't an issue, it's just not applicable to the specifics of the Goetz case, unless you want to highlight why these 4 punks picked Goetz out as a victim to begin with.

It's not so much that they picked Goetz because he was white, but rather that Goetz feared them because they were black. Most robberies and other violent crimes involve criminals and victims of the same race.
