chooseanother,
every now and again I find an argument that sways my views. You have just provided one.

I have always been against the hate crime laws because it tended to have a bias for the punishment based on the victim's profile. Didn't seem like an even application of the law.

But as you have presented it, it makes total sense to me since not only does the victim of the crime get harmed, but all people who fit that profile are oppressed through the threat of violence.

Thank you for articulating that so well.
