Recognise racism towards white people and Anglophobia as a hate crime.

What the petition asks
We would like the government to recognise racism towards white people and Anglophobia as a hate crime.
Racism towards white people and Anglophobia has become increasingly popular and is seen as socially acceptable. When a white person reports the racist hate crime, the matter is not taken seriously by authorities or in the workplace. White people are not exempt from racist abuse. Racism and Anglophobia should not be socially acceptable.
Why it was rejected
The UK Government or Parliament was already taking the action it asked for.
A crime can already be prosecuted as a hate crime if the offence has demonstrated hostility based on race or been motivated by hostility based on race.
