No, not the raw stats, but the typical interpretation is likely racist.
My take is that minorities have higher crime stats because of higher rates of poverty. Then its a feedback loop; higher crime communities get targeted law enforcement, which results in higher crime stats, which results in a more fragmented community due to higher incarceration rates, which means more poverty, etc etc.
This, of course, happens in poor white communities as well, but the image of poor white criminal as a representative of all white people isn't nearly as strong. As a result, white communities don't suffer the same stigma and profiling by law enforcement. Less incarceration rates means more stable families, higher lifetime income, and less poverty means less crime.
The individual experience isn't really useful when you are looking at large populations. Programs like affirmative action aren't fair to individuals at all, but they aren't designed to be. They are, or try to be, pragmatic in that they are directly addressing the real problem which is class disparity.
Now, I don't think affirmative action or positive discrimination is viable but only because its trying to divide up a shrinking middle class. Expanding the middle class would help a lot more than anything else, and if it was strong enough you wouldn't care if there was a bit of affirmative action here and there because you could still live a good life so its no sweat off your back as a white person to concede that life is unfair to minorities in America and why not help out a bit if it means that more of the country is safe and happy.
That is completely true - the amount of times I've have women heat up by body from vigirous sucking actions is ridiculous /s (I jest with this particular sentence - but still factual).
I work in a university (in the mathmatical department) and while blue collar workers are much smarter then some of the women at in my area, they are also very irritating and selfish with their work ethic. Many years ago when I was working on the Pragmi Theorem (highly complicated, please don't make me explain) I was so mentally exausted I slept in my office overnight, but lo and beyond - an obstanate trade worker thought it would be a good idea to jackhammer during the early hours of the morning (like 10 or 11am which might seem late, but for many mathmaticians is very early since we work at night). I was livid from being woken at such a premature hour and stormed over to the workers demanding that they discontinue until I had recovered my missed sleep, they ignored me and turned the jackhammer to a higher pace and continued disrupting the university. I hesitated, but anger prevailed and I reached into my pocket for my fighting monocole for what was about to arise. Luckily for the builders, my professor (angrily?) demanded that I, me, stop distracting them and come back to work.
They smurked at me sneakily and continued making a racket, while I muttered about what a pompous fool my professor was. I soon got my revenge, that's all I'll reveal.

But it's mostly having to wear fucking business casual in 90+ degree weather.
By the time I get to the car I am sweating, once my ass touches the hot car seat it's swamp city.
