Another passenger -- who was described as a Black woman age 25 to 30 -- called the elderly woman a racial epithet that has been applied to people of Chinese descent. The victim is in fact Mexican-American. She and her family - longtime residents of Highland Park - are often mistaken for Asian, her son said.

The victim was was attacked and injured by the other passenger and was ultimately dragged from the back of the bus to the front, according to her son.

Nobody would help. Not even the bus driver, Pete said.

The attack only ended when a passenger called 911.

The suspect was later arrested on another bus after police issued a bulletin, Pete said.

While the victim is Latina, she and her family - longtime residents of Highland Park - are often mistaken for Asian, her son said.

Sounds like a mentally ill person. Dragging an elderly woman by the hair is extreme.

because the attack was based on the person being thought to be asian, which was part of the cause of the attack, whereas the attack did not happen because of the race of the perpetrator, and is irrelevant.

no one "needs" to do anything. people provide what they think is relevant to understanding the news story. if the person being white is not relevant to what I'm trying to convey, then i would not include it. if it was, then i would.

why would someone assume the race was any particular race without other information, let alone that they were white? also, (why) is the race relevant?

The same reason literally every crime says the race. I doubt this bothers you every time it's 'cop kills black man' or something.

Terrible .

If she'd have been a white cop then the same posters on here so freely condemning this racist women would be finding excuses for her actions.
Racist violence is never okay. No matter who it is or who's doing it.

why is it critical? if they were [any race] and attacking someone because they are [insert race], then it is a hate crime.

hate crime - a crime, typically one involving violence, that is motivated by prejudice on the basis of race, religion, sexual orientation, or other grounds.

has nothing to do with the race, or any other characteristic of the of the attacker, other than their motivation.

So we don't need to mention if they're white?

What about white on black cop crimes? Do the races matter there?

Because you're being unnecessarily contrarian with no real stance on race related issues.

I'm just asking a hypothetical that has to do with your comment. In that specific situation, would you agree or disagree that race should be disclosed?

i wasn't being "contrarian". I said that the attacker's race has no impact on a hate crime charge (which was based on the race of the attacker), and thus no relevance to the story. I also stated that people make their decisions around what to include based on if the alleged attacker's race is relevant to the circumstances or to the readers' understanding of what happened. The logical conclusion of this stance is that there's no need to say that the attacker is black in this situation, as whether or not it was a hate crime and what the punishment should be is not changed by knowing the race of the attacker.

in terms of your police officer hypothetical, race would matter if the person posting believes that knowing the races of the individuals involved would change your understanding and/or provide useful context. For example, cop shoots unarmed black man for resisting arrest would be a different headline to most people than cop shoots unarmed man for resisting arrest, so it would probably make sense to include. the soundness of the decision to shoot and the possibility of the crime being race-related would surely influence if the killing was justified and/or what punishment is appropriate, if any.

If you think "white cop" or "asian cop" or "black cop" or "gay cismale cop" add to the understanding of the story, then feel free to add that. it is certainly worth considering what it adds, and the writer's intention for adding/excluding the details. but i've stated my logic/criteria. If you feel differently, feel free to share your opinion.

That seems to be what's happening here. Considering it is a hate crime. But I bet if this was a white on black hatecrime, damn, bet you'd be alllllll over it.

:/

In truth, the public don't need to know shit. We aren't judge/jury/executioner. The extra info is only there to drum up controversy. And this particular controversy is something you're obviously staunchly against.

The mentioning of different races as qualifiers is necessary to avoid people assuming the person is white, which will happen because white people are the default mode in this country and on GameFAQs.

This too.

Imagine the absolute outrage of people assuming every hate crime is white on black because they don't know the hate crime wasn't that at all.

True. There was a topic about the two teens that tried to carjack the uber driver and got him killed. Both the article linked, and the op, didn't mention that they were black, so every reply assumed they were white. There were comments talking about how the girls would get away with it because of privelege, or how the article definitely would have mentioned race if it were black teens. Sad, the conclusions some users jump to.
