Hate crimes were invented to properly punish offenders. Some crimes are worse than others. Some deserve more time. Hate crimes are one situation where extra punitive measures need to be taken.
When murder is not involved, I agree that there are crimes that deserve to be more punished more severely.
Scene 1: Guys in a Nashville bar starts a fight over whether Alabammer has better fans than Tennessee. That might be called a hate crime, but it snot.
Scene 2: Guy in a bar beats snot outta a gay/black/white/latino/religion du juor/blue hair man. Calling him all sorts of vulgarities about said et ceteras in the process.
Crazy dude in Scene 1 has less jail time coming than crazy POS in Scene 2.
