Why wasn't 'white boy' comment a hate crime?
As usual the New Haven Register has shown it’s bias in the article about the bicycle thieves in the city. I thought that shouting a racial epithet, such as “run, white boy, run” while committing a crime, automatically elevated a misdemeanor larceny to a felony hate crime. Where were Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson’s comments on this crime?

Yes, calling the theft victim a "white boy" was racist but the gang's decision to steal that particular bicycle occurred regardless of the skin color of the owner, more whether they thought they'd succeed and without hurting themselves.
