I thought it looked really cool . <| sep |> Il faut remettre la France au travail ? <| sep |> Hate crime laws apply to all races . So yes , if it can be proved that the attack was racially motivated . Then they will be charged . Some evidence would be things like racial slurs , etc . It will also be up to the prosecutor to make that decision . So you know , there have been cases of hate crimes on Caucasians and Christians and even heterosexuals . Though the number of that last one is small . Source FBI 2014 Hate Crime Statistics crime 2014 topicpagesvictimsfinal That ' s how those laws work . All those laws in various cases over the past couple of decades have been applied both ways . White individuals have been compensated for racial discrimination , women have been charged with sexual harassment , etc . Same with affirmative action in schools and employment . It doesn ' t favor any one race or group . One of my friends who is Caucasian was able to attend my high school because of affirmative action . Same with gender discrimination , sexual harassment , equal opportunity labor laws and even affirmative action in education systems .
