Just because you'd consider it a hate crime doesn't mean that the law would consider it a hate crime.
I think everyone else is correct. Colorado law appears to include the following under "bias-motivated crimes" (hate crimes): "race, color, ancestry, religion, national origin, physical or mental disability, or sexual orientation." Colo. Rev. Stat. § 18-9-121.
I don't know of any hate crime statute that extends as far as "social groups."
