Obviously, but that doesn't make it not racism if you aren't being confronted by an armed government official. It just makes it not terrifying so long as the cop isn't replaced with a lynch mob or group of drunk rednecks. Racism isn't a contest, which is the entire point of this exchange. It's all garbage, even pedestrian racism.
