    I think they are pointing out the apparent assumptions of the headline.

      Yes, assumptions they imagine were made. If they can point to stats in a study of headline wordings that would be great, but as it is they might as well assert that “teen” implies Martian. The terminology probably came right off the police report, we don’t know - all this does is express an attitude that this is a sign of unspecified entities being racist.
