The thing is, it's not those who have been arrested/stopped and searched who wrote the report, nor is it from interviews with those arrested/stopped and searched, it's from the police records themselves.
Mustn't forget that.

Its always going to hard to judge when something is racist or not as lets face it the excuse of race has been abused by those the race laws are there to protect

Again, that report is using figures not anecdotal evidence, comparing employment status of graduates who are white with graduates who are black.
Unless the A levels or degrees black students do are prodominantly ones that employers scoff at such as media studies or Klingon, then without racism there should be equal chance of someone getting employment.
The fact there is a discrepency between blacks and other groups suggests that race plays a role and they are being discriminated against, which I totally agree with you on, should be stamped out (though not via "positive" discrimination)
