It's just that it wasn't only your first statement but your subsequent best efforts amounted to more profiling. You just dug a pretty deep hole trying to explain yourself with more and more examples that were akin to saying:

He's black "check"
He's young "check
He's male "check

" I wouldn't be surprised if he's a criminal. "

That's what ticked me off. I think we're trying to tell you that that logic is not a good way to approach anything.
