Excuse me. Isn't it racist to assume that this remark (jokingly asking where are they, out in the parking lot stealing hubcaps?) is racist? Because couldn't Bill have made exactly the same remark about a group of white guys? Yes.

So, to simply immediately assume that Bill wouldn't have made a similar remark about a group of white guys is in itself racist, because if the inherent assumption that remarks like this would only be directed toward "people of color", correct? So who are the racists here, hmmmm?

I believe he was working the teen angle. Not the racist angle. There seems to be people bent on trying to find everything and anything to trash people.

Why, yes it is. Especially when you consider that they weren't there so he could see them. Of course, I would also maintain that BEING an African-American boy’s group is iteself racist.
