What’s not to understand? What do you suppose was the purpose of enacting so-called “hate” crime laws?
Some years ago two white teen-aged girls were kidnapped, raped and murdered by a group of black youths who explicitly said they were out to get white girls. Was this prosecuted as a hate crime? Of course not.
By an odd quirk of circumstance, the first prosecution under Wisconsin’s hate crime statute was against a black that assaulted a white. I doubt very much that such a mistake has been repeated.
