<According to the Hate Crime Statistics Act, a hate crime is a criminal act in which a victim is selected because of the perpetrator's prejudice against the victim's race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sexual orientation and/or disability.

Show me in that definition where it says you have to be white to be the perp. >

It is technically true that there is no such text in any actual statute that defines "hate crime" in such a de jure manner. In the de facto sense, however, they only prosecute Whites for "hate crimes." Everyone knows that. Its much like the situation that prevails with the Civil Rights Act of 1964. It is supposed to ban all forms of racial discrimination, but everyone knows that doesn't really apply to Whites, hence we get "affirmative action."
