Playing an Instrument while White?

Quote:

A man approached by police who thought he had a gun was in fact playing his bassoon. Someone called emergency services to report a man sitting on a car with a weapon in Springfield in Ohio, America, on April 5. But when officers arrived at the scene, they found musician Eric Barga, 22, playing some scales on his bassoon.

I'm guessing the musician was White otherwise he would have been shot. (The only pictures with the article I saw were stock photos.)
