I can't believe you're not seeing this.
If a group of white men went out and beat up a gang on Asians I can't see how people could fail to call it a racially motivated attack.
If a group of Asian beat up a gang of whites, it would be the same.
The analogy here is if a gang of white men beat up a gang of other white people, would it make headlines with suggestions of racism? Of course not, and rightly so.
