It stands to reason that if the majority of people seen wearing hoodies do then break the law or steal from shops, then people will assossiate hoodies with such lawbreaking.
It's not like they pull this stuff out of their arse.

I disagree, I think it's exactly like they pull this stuff out of their arse. In fact, I believe that it's the minority, not majority, that commit the crimes that they're talking about, and these generalising bigots are the ones who make the majority suffer for it.
Teenagers who commit crimes pull the hood over their head because it's a convenient way to avoid being nicked by cctv, not because it's a symbol of gang, thug, and yob culture. And that's why it's a rediculous statement to make.
