Although you are correct in believing that the decision
might differ if racial discrimination were involved in the
state's decision-making process, the Court never held that
there is a general constitutional rule requiring states to
protect members of oppressed racial groups from private
violence. The Court, however, addresses a limitation to the
general rule against a requirement of state protection that
is applicable to the facts of the hypothetical in this
question. Read the opinion again and locate that limitation
to the general rule.
