"Police previously received a complaint from the family that Booth had made an obscene gesture and told them to go back to where they came from and “speak English,”"

The standard on hate crimes can be really absurd in a lot of states, and some states don't even have hate crime legislation, Utah only briefly consider haven't hate crime laws after a black man attacked a Hispanic man with clear racial motive. They never realized it could be used against non white people, really changed their stance.
