I am not condoning racism but I think the point is more about two things: laws of the land and economics.
It is certainly harder to attempt to prosecute someone who pulls this kind of shit in Estonia than it is in the United States for example. That isn't prejudice that is a fact. Just as it is harder to go after someone for software piracy in certain countries.
The second point is that, yes, stealing X amount of BTC is certainly going to be more of a temptation to someone in a lower income area than someone in a higher income area. Why people are saying that isn't true is beyond me. That seems like basic logic to me. Most "thieves" are not rich (excluding whatever they have made from stealing of course.)
