Isn't This Racist?

So I come home and see this on the TV:

Isn't this racist? All those black teens. Nary a white face in the mix. Well no, white faces as administrators. So what are they telling us here? And isn't it supposed to be racist to point out what this video is pointing out?

BROWNSVILLE, Brooklyn (WABC) -- A new program is giving students a serious reality check when it comes to gun violence.

The program is called "It Starts Here" and involves middle school and high school students visiting a hospital to hear from victims of gun violence, and it also includes a visit to the morgue.

Brownsville demographics:

"You guys have a decision to make," Edwards told the group. "You can make a decision to do great things, or you can make a decision to go the wrong way. And usually, wrong ways end you up here."
Hmmm...most communities don't need to send their kids to morgues to learn this lesson.
