I don't think it was a "racist" crime either.
The "racially motivated" tone may have been overplayed by the media.
But even when that's all said and done, you can't ignore the racial element to the story.
In so far that the men were all asian. It's bound to be brought to the fore and it's bound to be a sensitive issue. To pretend otherwise is to be naive.
It would be the same if the gang was all black, or all Serbian, or all Polish etc etc.
