Depends on whether or not the prosecution thinks they can get the emotional capital scrounged up to make the case. For it to be a hate crime they'd have to find something in the attack that they can play with. I think the prosecution would at least try, since if they could pull off that argument they would get a stronger conviction and a better chance of making a deal in their favor. But whether or not it would succeed is questionable, because yeh, interracial crimes between Chinese and Indians don't have the same sort of emotional appeal in the states that white and black, or straight and gay gets you.
