I understand precisely what hate crimes are. However, if you're trying to tell me that hate crime prosecution only occurs when the primary motivation was race, you're completely wrong. Remember that guy (NY I think?) that recently made news because he beat up some black kid while the kid was boosting cars? He used a racial slur, and last I heard they were prosecuting for a hate crime. Its simply ridiculous.
WE ALREADY PROSECUTE CRIME.
If there was a shred of evidence that hate crime legislation acted as a deterrent, it may make some logical sense.
