> Do you know what I am thinking right now?
Beyond what you have written, no.
> Could you prove what I am thinking right now in any conceivable manner in a court of law?
No, but that is not the intention of “hate crime” law. They seek to establish a) “why” you are thinking what you are thinking, and “which” of your beliefs are driving your actions. In this case, that’s rather easy: you are seeking a) to “win” a debate b) based upon your belief that you are right and I am wrong.
Same deal with hate crime, with more emphasis on b) than on a).
I see what you are saying.
