Because in America, the stereotype held by bigots regarding black folk is lazy, shiftless, unwilling to work, dishonest, violent, thieving ...
So when even a small minority of blacks go out and violently steal stuff, the bigots will revel in their confirmation bias.
This is not calculus ... it's simple sociology.
