 How could such an attack actually happen? Is there some kind of racial database?

These people are sick

 I can only assume, not a single racist text was sent in the last 4 years. 
 My guess…data breach that included ethnic identifiers. Think how many times you’re asked to designate your ethnic group on a variety of applications, memberships, etc. Costs money to do something like this…bet this is a state actor.

This is so funny it has got to be a false flag 
 Sewing fear & division. 

Surely our 3 letter agencies wouldn't do that! 
 A lot of the larger companies will use Ai to try and fill in the remaining portions of missing data in their db's. Meta is especially bad about it. 
 You could make a very educated guess based on the name. "Letitia James" is a perfect example, actually. 
 A bunch of people that have been calling Trump orange Hitler for the past four years are so butt-hurt they'd send racist texts? I wish I could say I'm shocked, but many of them want to deport Hispanics, that also happen to be US citizens because of their voting choices. 
 Psyop very likely. Either by our own govt or a foreign one. The narrative being pushed by the media (of some racist group targeting black ppl) seems as unlikely as getting a noose tossed around your neck and getting bleach poured on you on your way back home from Subway's at 2am in the morning.
