The reason 'black on white' incidents are jumped on (and I'll happily admit to being such a 'jumper') is because it is almost swept under the carpet and it really does feel (even though there is nothing AFAIK to support this) as if "it's only racist if the victim is black/asian".
If a black guy gets beaten up by whites, the local police force wastes no time in treating it as a racial crime (which, as you say, it often is) however in the opposite scenario, race is very rarely the immediate reaction.
This must STOP.
There is a lot (and I'll stay away from using the word 'plenty') being done to combat racism against blacks. It may happen less but where are the government bodies supporting white victims of racism? Why do leaders of black communities come out and speak against black on white crime?
I'll end this thread by reiterating that I'm aware blacks/asains are far more likely to be victims of racial crime. But that is not to say there should be more help available to them - it should be available to ALL.

This is what happens black on white racist attacks with violence, you as a honnest white person involve the police with witness's to the incident, then the offenders falsely play the "racism card" and next the police are advising you to not cause any more trouble else they will come down on you like a ton of bricks, close your business and meanwhile you and your entire family is at serious risk of violent attacks from now its not just the people who attacked you in the first place but there entire community, of which is backed up by the police advising you to leave the town you grew up in.
Its known as commercial terrorism using violence to instigate neighbourly problems then accusing the victim of being the offender and driving them away from their succesful business so they can step in and take it over.
It does go on its not a one off here and there.
