It's hard to tell from the story, but is the accused white?

Doing a little profiling by name, it is doubtful.

It's hard to tell from the story, but is the accused white?

Since Long was calling his victim 'a disgrace to his race', I would guess so.

[Muzzle_em]

Hard to tell with a name like Dimitri.
Could be black, could be Greek.

yes the accused is white. He told his victim(who is also white) that he was a disgrace to his race.

The suspects allegedly yelled that the victim was a disgrace to his race.

I'm assuming from this that the perps are white, but the reporter really needs to verify this for the story to be fully understood.
