"im not a racist"
false statement as we all are to some degree
"....but i hate people using race as an excuse"
even if race is the sole key?
"the reason theyre checking you is 4 of your countrymen just killed 3000 people!...its not racism, but if other people of your race, and country act like that then what do you expect"
so they were checking him out due to his race then?
"Racism is the belief that the genetic factors which constitute race, ethnicity, or nationality are a primary determinant of human traits and capacities"
so, you assumed (along with the muslin(m) guy) that the police were checking him out due to his race/nationality.
whether the police were being racist is unclear but you and the guy both detected it as racist. you agreed with the racism but the guy was right to be annoyed if it was a check based soley on race.
