Law enforcement has always been hesitant to pursue hate crime charges when the victim(s) is/are white. The notion of hate crimes has always been a feel-good premise to create a crime category where whites are the most prevalent offenders.
So what might normally be a routine assault gets pushed into the "hate crime" category which pushes up white representation on the offender category.
Meanwhile, clearly obvious hate crimes like this are ignored.

It was as plain as black and white. It was a hate crime.
When 30 black teenagers from Marine Park Middle School, most of them girls, chased five white girls from St.
Edmund’s off a Marine Park basketball court and across a Brooklyn street — punching, kicking, slapping, pulling hair and screaming, “honky bitches,” “black power” and “white crackers” — it was a racial attack.
It was about hate.
But it took authorities three weeks to bring in the bias crime unit to investigate and elevate the charges to hate crime status. And to arrest three more alleged culprits. And to offer a reward for information on the rest of the mob of black teens.
And now noted attorney Stephen Murphy and associate Daniel Russo have been retained by the families of the victims to initiate a civil suit against the city and the Department of Education.
