its racist because...

....prosecutor McGill used 10-11 of his peremptory strikes to exclude otherwise acceptable black jurors. this is an obvious "prima facie" example of racist jury selection, and according to the 'Batson' precedent, a defendant deserves a new trial under these circumstances.

That is racist!
