Why isn’t flag burning considered a hate crime? Just wondering. And why is displaying a swastika or Confederate flag considered a hate crime? Isn’t it just making an unpopular political statement, the same as burning a flag?

in the United States, you can display all the Confederate flags and swastikas you like and you will not be charged with a hate crime or any other kind of crime.
