Is it ok to make those assumptions, though, still? Statistically speaking violent crime is committed at a higher rate by African Americans, but it's wrong to assume every African American is a criminal.

No you can't. Kanye got in trouble for pointing out statistical facts as he did it in a horrible way. Chappelle pointed out those same facts and the facts about the demographics of people in said groups, but that it is wrong to make judgements about those groups that the facts fit. Like, you can think that this country has been ran by essentially all white males who are protestants, but it would be wrong to say that white males that are protestants run the country.
