I don't think that's quite what they said. I think they picked vulnerable girls from white communities but not just because they were white. Where is the actual quote, I can't find it in the BBC News report.

They seem to have targeting white girls because they saw them as more easy to exploit, i.e the background, rather than the colour of their skin. That does add an element of race to it but not quite in the same way as a 'racially motivated crime'. Their race wasn't the motivation but a means they used to find victims who they viewed as easier to exploit. Although I can't find a quote.
