Terrible argument.
Take a picture of Urkel and Eminem, who do you think would be referred to as a thug more frequently? (Hint: it's not Urkel). If anything you're arguing that clothes make the man, not anything to do with race.
I do think that if there were two "equal" pictures of males in hoodies, one being black and the other white, that the black male would likely be described as thug more frequently. But if you're posting a picture of a well dressed man in a suit smiling nicely and comparing it to a man with a done-up hoodie and ballcap, it doesn't matter the races.
