Byler, who is of mixed Asian American heritage, offered an analogy by citing the stereotype that Italian Americans are involved in organized crime as a way of trying to get the man to relate to other communities who resist being racially profiled, disparaged, or otherwise discriminated against.
Law enforcement officials say that racial profiling and other police misconduct empowers gangs (organized crime) by causing minority communities to lose trust in law enforcement. In communities that are poorly or unfairly policed, crimes are less likely to be reported and witnesses are less likely to come forward. Also, when there are disputes, people go to gang leaders rather than to the authorities. The irony is that, to the degree that there is truth behind stereotypes about minority communities and crime, often, it is the stereotypes that lead to bad policies and police misconduct, which in turn leads to rising levels of crime.
Did the Italian American Trump supporter get it by the end? You'll need to watch to find out!
