I'm sure it's just coincidence that the aforementioned groups are all liberal special interest groups.US residents who are victims of a prejudice-motivated crime based on their perceived sex, ethnicity, disability, language or nationality have the same human rights as bigoted blowhards in high places:I'm sure it's just coincidence that the aforementioned groups are all liberal special interest groups.

Opinion | Trump’s Inhumanity Before a Victim of Rape
"A hate crime (also known as a bias-motivated crime or bias crime[1]) is a prejudice-motivated crime which occurs when a perpetrator targets a victim because of their membership (or perceived membership) in a certain social group or race.
"Examples of such groups can include, and are almost exclusively limited to: sex, ethnicity, disability, language, nationality, physical appearance, religion, gender identity or sexual orientation.[2][3][4]

And I find it hard to believe that a thinking person, as you claim to be, feels that any crime of violence can't be considered a hate crime? If a white person gets beaten up and put in the hospital, and he is laying alongside a transgender person who suffered the same crime, does he not suffer the same pain as the transgendered person? Why yes, yes he does. So to claim that the transgendered person has suffered more is stupid.
How about we punish all violent criminals the same. Lock them up and throw away the key.The transgender was a victim of a prejudice motivated act of violence while the white victim probably was not; although, there's no shortage of white victims who unknowingly wandered into the wrong black neighborhood. In general, penalty-enhancement hate crime laws are justified on the grounds that such behavior is thought to inflict greater individual and societal harm. Bias-motivated crimes are more likely to provoke retaliatory crimes and incite community unrest than are acts of violence lacking a hate crime motive.And I find it hard to believe that a thinking person, as you claim to be, feels that any crime of violence can't be considered a hate crime?

It doesn't matter. What hate crime laws do is stipulate that one person is more valuable than another. That is simply stupid. And, it is not "fair'. NO ONE is more valuable than anyone else. Or do you instead believe that slavery is OK?
Yes, my analogy is hyperbolic, but that is the end result of the idiocy that you are following.No, I don't believe slavery is OK.It doesn't matter.

Do you believe 200 years of white supremacy factors in to current US hate crime legislation?
White supremacy - Wikipedia
"After the mid-1960s, white supremacy remained an important ideology to the American far-right.[16]
"According to Kathleen Belew, a historian of race and racism in the United States, white militancy shifted after the Vietnam War from supporting the existing racial order to a more radical position—self-described as 'white power' or 'white nationalism'—committed to overthrowing the United States government and establishing a white homeland.[17][18]
"Such anti-government militia organizations are one of three major strands of violent right-wing movements in the United States, with white supremacist groups (such as the Ku Klux Klan, neo-Nazi organizations, and racist skinheads) and a religious fundamentalist movement (such as Christian Identity) being the other two."
It doesn't matter. White supremacy, black supremacy, green supremacy, are all protected by the 1st Amendment. Hate speech is the only speech that is protected because friendly speech doesn't need protection.....or are you not smart enough to understand that fact?
