Almost all, yes.
Out of curiosity what constitutes class membership anyways? If I am a world reknown chemist am I in the same category as an empty-headed nigger ? If so then you're wrong , class membership doesn't render any valid judgment. If it doesn't then "class membership" becomes a vague term and since it's vague judging by it will give similarly vague results. Most blacks in the particular class that I am well familiar with are in fact an example of my point, the local black scientists at an agricultural institute here would likely tell you less about their field than a farmer or a pre-bachelor student. Yet if we use class basis you'd say they are equal to say Dr.Watson and that gives laughable results.
Also I don't understand why you extrapolate racism as being judgment of individuals rather than groups, that has never been the point so I don't really see your objective as disproving it wont give any credence to your point (Not that you can now that you've made such an absurd statement).

And what you say isn't quite right. Just because blacks are disproportionately responsible for violent crimes, doesn't mean that you should treat a black man following you any differently from a white man.

This is how one would define irrationality.
