Also, I wouldn't frame it the way you framed it, but I don't think it is racist to say "I'm not surprised by a Black American having a criminal record". Not because Black Americans are predisposed to crime, but because they are targeted by overpolicing and system racism lmao.

Edit: 1/7ish Black American Men have been to prison. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5996985/#%3A%7E%3Atext=We+estimate+that+3+%25+of%2CAfrican+American+adult+male+population.
