The racists pick up on these remarks (criminals, thugs) and already know that they are minorities. They need to be called out on that sort of code language that can arguably incite violence. I remember a would be shooter going out of his way to shoot progressives at the Tides Foundation after watching the Glenn Beck show. At that time nobody knew what the Tides Foundation was.
