why the downvote?

  I did't downvote, but I guess it's for implying (without any other data or statistics) that if something bad happens to a member of a group X, then it is an act of prejudice against this group.

  Because you haven't cited enough evidence to support the charge of racism.

>Now one might righfully argue that this case is not just ludicrous but also racist. Purely based on the fact the defendant and his girlfriend are black? No, I think not.

No, one might not rightfully argue this case is racist, based on the evidence provided. What, in the story, suggests to you that this case is racist?
