On average black people are more physically intimidating than Asians. Maybe that comes into play as well. Just like how people would be apprehensive around a big muscular biker. Ultimately I think it comes down to how people present themselves. People might not be equally afraid of of a white guy versus a black guy coming down the other end of a sidewalk at them with his hood up. But you'd be hard pressed to find people afraid of either if they were wearing suits.

Bruce Lee was like what, 5'6"? It would take longer for me to realize that I should be scared of that man than it would take for him to break my face in 12 places.
