and WHO decides whether to charge a hate crime? I can tell you without doubt that if that charge is thrown in there it is rarely going to be a not guilty when the defendant is found guilty of actually committing the crime. So essence the state will be deciding what is and what is not a so called hate crime.
The DA decides whether to charge a hate crime.
Yes, of course it's the state that decides what is and what is not a hate crime. That's what the state does -defines and prosecutes crimes. Not sure where you are going with this post.
