111. You have to read it all though...

It says "substantial" part. That's not clear to anyone, unless they're making judgments without any facts.

You don't know what they were thinking, and the victim didn't report any racial epithets being spat at her. To accurately conclude that race was a motivating factor the perpetrators have to be found and admit they decided to brutally kick & punch this girl because she was white. (That could happen, but it hasn't yet.)

"White hair" and "white face" aren't racial epithets anymore than "black hair" and "black face" are.
