I apologise if I made it sound like a 'game' - that's not my intention. The point I'm making is if a white person attacks a non-white it always seems to be approached as a racial crime however the reverse does not seem to be so. In either case I can accept it might not be racial - maybe the victim got beaten because they were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time.
But when a gang of one race targets victims of a different race, I cannot see how you could fail to recognise the racial significance of that.
