Hardly. A text (which the courts in a country or state abide to) that states that beating up a homo is worse than beating up the white rich kid around the corner is not something that I would call 'little more than symbolic'.
However, the analogy itself is flawed, making this a rather trivial discussion.

So he gave them the coy little wave and realized it probably would have been more effective if he hadn't been lying on their turkey.
