Re: Are Hate Crimes rascist?
The problem with your argument is that judges and juries don't tend to follow your logic. They historically didn't (and in some cases still don't) convict or impose as harsh of a penalty on people when the victims of their crimes were homosexuals, blacks, etc.
As long as hate crime laws protect all people, including those of us in the 'majority', from crimes motivated by hate, I think they are a fair and welcome legislation.
