So, by now, most of us are familiar with a racist remark made at a Walmart over the PA system. We've heard a lot of angry black people complain about it, and there's a good possibility that the guy who did it may get charged criminally.
Strangely, there is a much more serious racially motivated incident that happened in the same general vicinity that hasn't gotten much national attention. It was perpetrated by black students against Asian ones at a South Philadelphia school.

"Hao Luu's troubles began Dec. 2 when, Asian activists say, he was accosted in the hall of South Philadelphia High by a student who yanked the earphones out of his ears.
After school that day, Luu was followed by 10 to 15 students and beaten so badly that he vomited.
What followed over the next two months outraged Asian advocates: Luu was ordered transferred from the school, despite having won his case at a disciplinary hearing. He was accused of being in a gang, an allegation strongly denied by his family. At one point, officials accused Luu of taking part in a fight in 2008 - a time when he was living in Virginia, according to his family and supporters.
The case of Luu, a 17-year-old immigrant student from Vietnam, shines light on how the school district is handling students accused of playing a role in the violence that enveloped the school Dec. 3."
So, a racist remark made against blacks makes national news, but a racially motivated beating by blacks against Asians doesn't.
I don't believe there's a liberal bias in media, but there certainly is a politically correct one.
What I'd like to know is how a minor slight against blacks makes national news, but a beating committed by blacks doesn't.
