If I was to say that black people commit more crime in America then (although I haven't checked whether it is still a legit statistic) I am referring to a fact. This isn't racism and neither is it prejudice. Racism would be saying that black people commit more crime because they are genetically inferior. Prejudice would be assuming that almost all black people commit crime, but this isn't necessary racist because you might believe that this is because of societies cultural oppression of minorities leading to poverty in aforementioned minorities and concluding that this leads to crime.

I hope this makes sense.
