I think not.

If you even take offense to it at all, that's more of a stereotyping thing than racism.

Seriously, this is almost as stupid as getting mad over as the whole "white guy can't jump" or "white guy can't dance" crap. If something similar to what was said in that video about white guy by a couple of black dudes, would anyone here be crying outrage?

Doubtful.

Now, I can't say I seen this video, but from the sound of it, yeah, really dumb thing to do on the Cops' part, probably crossed the line a tad bit, especially in times where everyone cries racism at even the slightest notion, but is it really all that noteworthy? Sounds to me like it was more of a joke than some white man talking down to a black man.

was it racist? yes, BUT to me it was STILL Better than getting a ticket!

No kidding. Those two guys seemed more than happy to rap in exchange for no ticket. And c'mon...it was just littering anyway.

Well, white guys can't really rap anyway. They might have been asked to, I dunno, polka or something.

Ok, fair point, I suppose it does tie in more with stereotyping than all out racism, but sometimes there's a fine line between the two.
