I certainly don't want there to be hate crimes. Shining a spotlight on them is the first step to ending them.\
When you find so many imaginary and overhyped crimes, and so very few real crimes, your motivation is not ending those crimes, but imposing collective punishment on those supposedly guilty. Reflect on what happened in Ferguson: A policeman shoots a black thug in self defence: Hate crime. Large numbers of white people are driven out of Ferguson and forced to abandon their homes to black people, with the result that price of these homes in parts of Ferguson near the riots fall to far below the value of the mortgages and cost of replacement. Not a hate crime.
