There is no such thing as a hate crime. Crimes are equally punishable no matter the race of the victim or motive. A person murdered in a robbery deserves no less justice than one murdered in an attack where racial slurs were used. The victims both lose their lives.

The actual argument is that a hate crime has a worse effect on the community as a whole. The enhancement isn’t for the murdered person, it’s for the social fabric. A robbery gone wrong makes people nervous to go out at night, a proper hate crime makes everyone nervous and distrustful in a multiculti community.

The hitch is that white folks arent exactly running around in the middle of the night pouring bleach on people on their way home from subway and trying to hang them with twine. Almost all hate crimes are done by black people and never get tried as such. Tough to find a group of white people kidnapping a handicapped black person and live-streaming the torture, or chanting kill blackie, or saying on Twatter how black people should all be killed for the alleged crimes of long dead people who share a hue.
