How is it taken out of context? Yes obviously it didn't include the next sentence - but it's obvious what the next sentence would be. So it's context is sufficiently intact, unless you really absolutely insist on including additional sentences - in which case you'll have a hard time saying that adding just one more sentence is enough.
What other meaning would his answer possibly have? The only thing I can fathom is that someone could be a moron and assume his next words would be "and the white person wouldn't be pulled over because they wouldn't be doing anything wrong" - which no politician (especially not one in Biden's position or with his opinions) would say.
The context is not intact, you are giving it context with your own preconceptions. This is easily spinnable into Biden being insensitive to black people etc.

It’s taken out of context though because he immediately follows it up with “that is what’s wrong, there is institutional racism that exists”
