Not justifies, but that it is human nature and actually a proper survival trait.
If I hear on the news a random X race man in my neighborhood is breaking in and killing people, and a random X race man jumps into my yard and starts banging on the door trying to break in and I shoot him, am I being racist because "maybe he wasn't the killer X race man?"
He didn't go out looking for Natives because of a pre-determined stereotype. However, when a group of people ARE acting in a pre-determined stereotype, a different reaction/altered reaction to that group of people compared to your reaction to another group is expected (And not racist IMO)
