I don't think being white or black has a bearing on his actions. He's a rapist and he's going to prison.
I'm also pretty sure that they didn't introduce the hate crime charges because it was a mixed race group and the rape charges were a slam dunk with the evidence.
The real question is can you hold him accountable for his actions without focusing on the fact that he's a minority.

But can you hold a minority accountable for his or her actions? Your posts in this thread seem to indicate that you will excuse anything away due to racism by whites.

I think the real answer is you will not hold someone who is a minority accountable for his or her actions.

When the "accountability" involves sentencing, and when T.C.A. § 40-35-114 (17) defines a mitigating factor as:
" The defendant intentionally selected the person against whom the crime was committed or selected the property that was damaged or otherwise affected by the crime, in whole or in part, because of the defendant's belief or perception regarding the race, religion, color, disability, sexual orientation, national origin, ancestry, or gender of that person or the owner or occupant of that property; however, this subdivision (17) should not be construed to permit the enhancement of a sexual offense on the basis of gender selection alone;"
then an examination of race is likely going to be necessary.

he is responsible for making people focus on the fact that he's a minority because of what he said
