According to a meeting that I went to recently about discrimination based upon disability, it's because hostility is now viewed by the police as a form of bullying.
If someone doesn't like someone, the police would still expect them to be treated with respect and courtesy. This is especially the case if the reason is because they are vulnerable or in a minority group.
I think it's because even bigots, bullies etc have found that most decent people reject and socially isolate them when they are upfront about it, so they try to hurt and discriminate against people in a more subtle manner.

I do tend to agree with this Ian, it's probably a classic case of deflection.
