If this was a white man trying to get into his house I guarantee that no cops would've been called. SO YES, the caller probably thought that since a black man was in a rich white neighborhood he must've been breaking in. The caller was a racist without even realizing it.
Gates was unruly, there's no doubt, but he should've never been arrested. However, I don't see the racism there and just see a cop being a pig and having his ego hurt by Gates.
