But somehow people always make it White vs Black. Those people are the racists. It's a matter of law abiding vs non-law abiding. Simple as that.

If it was about "law-abiding" versus "non law=abiding" then taxi drivers would never pick up men.

Men account for 89% of all arrests for murder, 88%  of all robberies, 77% of aggravated assaults, and 73% of all simple assaults.  A man is 7 to 9 times as likely to commit a violent crime as a woman.  So why do these taxi drivers ever pick up men when they are so much more likely to commit a violent crime than a woman?

It is about race and it is a clear privilege for white people.  Even though white males are part of the most violent criminal demographic in the country they will not be discriminated against because they are WHITE.
