I mean sure, and I don't think you're necessarily being racist by saying what you actually said, but when you say, "a lot of the drunks are Natives," you tap into a stereotype that harms that group of people. But again, my main point is just that there's no reason to comment on the racial makeup (or the gender makeup) of drunk people in Winnipeg unless you're trying to reinforce the harmful stereotype.
