...a rough looking black teenager came on the bus, and as he passed us
there was something that made me uneasy, but I couldn't put my finger on
it.


This made me laugh. Maybe it was his "demeanor"?

Let's see, because you were conscious of and concerned about your imagined racist appearance, you didn't act the way you truly felt inside - a good example of why we should not rely on outer appearance (demeanor) to gauge what is inside another.

You had good reasons to be concerned and take precautions - inner city, high crime area, teenager, "rough looking" - and none of these things had anything to do with the purse-snatcher's "demeanor".
