I think what he is talking about are all the ones that use their color as an excuse, that no matter what they bring the race card into it, or try to make it a race issue when it's really not.  It's funny how when chasing down a bounty how many times I heard "your buggin me because I'm black," despite the fact that I was after them, just like everyone else I tracked down, because they chose to skip bail.  Another one who went off on me because I was staring off into space in their general direction, but I was "watching them" because they were "black." 

It reminds me a bit of a story about a boy who called "wolf".

Also, I would say that the minorities are not the only ones that are effected adversely by racism.  I have suffered extreme racism while working at one of the casinos (hence why I really don't like the casinos).  I have also been fired from a job because a very racist black guy tried to claim I was racist, and made up crap saying I said and did things I did not do.  Without any kind of proof, they took his side.  Gee, I wonder why, especially after he made a Johnny Caucherin reference. 

Yes, some assholes happen to also be minorities. It sucks that that guy did that to you.

And nobody's stopping you from saying any word or combination of words you like, this being a free country. However, if you say something that only an a**hole would say, expect to be thought of as an a**hole. Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequences.

For a minority, they sure do make the claim increasingly ridiculous. 

My point of the use of words is that it is often perfectly fine for one to say it yet not for another because of the color of their skin, which in itself is a racial perspective And for the record, I'm proud of my a**hole status.
