"Hate crimes" is a term created by leftists to add more penalties for real or imagined crimes, if the leftists suspect the motive was politically incorrect, such as racism, islamophobia, etc.

Conservatives generally reject the premise of "hate crimes".

There are crimes (violations of people's actual, not imagined, human rights) and then there are non-crimes.
