Imagine then someone who openly claims to be an artist and that creating art is a part of them. Would you say this person culturally associate with a murderer who kills "for art"? Both call themselves and associate with the artistic work.

I don't think that it is a good analogy, as that white man associate concretely to black gang culture.
A better analogy would be, a man who associate with black culture in general but gets rejected because his employer consider him to associate with black gang culture although he claims he doesn't.
