Is there a racial double standard for hate crimes?

Dr. Carol Swain, author of several books on race relations in America wrote an article, Black on White Violence: Is there a racial double standard for hate crimes. She notes that there is a sense of unfairness and injustice that many White Americans feel when crimes against them, that seem to be racially motivated, are dismissed by law officials. More and more this argument is being made. I am curious what others think about this. Do you believe that there are racial double standards in regards to hate crime? And if there is, is it that there is an injustice against White Americans or Black Americans?
