Geneva is something like 0.1% black. If in 5 years of buying drugs, you find that ~80% of your dealers are black, then I think you can make the assumption that most drug dealers in Geneva are black. I don't see that as racism - that's just a statement of fact.
Now, if you carried that one step further and said that black people in Geneva are probably drug dealers, then yeah, that's racist...
