I think "hate crime" is actually a misnomer, fwiw. The term should be "torture crime". Thats what people get upset about - it is just coincidence that these tend to be racial. For example, the Matthew Sheppard incident, although heinous, generated nothing for me insofar as a hate crime was concerned. It was a murder but unclear that it was even related to Sheppard's homosexuality. Otoh the Texas dragging murder was clearly torture.
