Why do we classify certain crimes as hate crimes and assign a harsher punishment than others? I'd say there's a good chance that anyone that commits a crime has hate inside them so why are we sentencing to the intent and not the crime? We need more consistency in our punishments and murder is murder, no matter what your age, race or gender.
It's not really fair to classify a crime against a non-white person as any worse than another.
