The circular part of this logic is that they assume race is central in white-on-black crimes, precisely because they are white-on-black, and assume it is irrelevant in black-on-white crime

The first thing I thought of was the Italian mob and "omerta." You mean to tell me a prosecutor cannot refer to the sicilian code of silence to a jury? References to cultural phenomena are not racist or discriminatory if they do, in fact, exist and aren't simply prejudicial racial stereotypes.
