and wtf does this incident have to do with institutionalised racism in the police?

that's an idiotic association.

I don't know how many times I have to repeat this, but this was a conversation between two Spanish speakers one of whom mistakenly thought "negrito" was racist, when it patently isn't to anyone who would truly understand.
