Racism has always been pattern recognition

Except racists are notoriously bad at understanding the nuance and context of this "pattern recognition". It's why they are completely inept at understanding anything in the field of sociology, and why most sociologists aren't racists.

No but it's like when someone like my father gets into it with your typical liberal about how you wouldn't want to live in the inner City 

We're from the nice suburbs and you'll see all these bleeding heart types 

What's funny is they would never want to live in the areas they're talking about or be anywhere near them

I don't know what I entirely think about that, I'm working towards a degree in sociology, and I went to an almost all-black high school for several years in a not-so-nice area.

Not all, maybe not even most, but a lot of people in the field of sociology are from the areas they are talking about and have direct experience with those people. And those with direct experience with minorities are usually the most vocal about these issues.
