Hate Speech, and hate crime is a type of tool to elevate the rights and protections of one group over another group, not to equalize. For instance, I am a white hetero 30 year old married male. If I kill a black person or homosexual for whatever reason, it could be construed as a hate crime. Tack on hate crime, and my sentence and jail time immediately go up, and the paper will have a field day with me. If a gay man or black person kills me, it is not a hate crime. They will serve less jail time and not be pilloried in the newspaper. Therefore, whoever yells "that's hate speech, or hate crime", gets more protection. Crime is crime. You advocate killing people, you do kill or maim people, you face the punishment. The end result is the same. Someone got hurt. Does it make any difference to the white widow that her husband was killed by Asian gangsters? "Oh, Frank was killed for money, at least they did not call him a roundeye gaijin".
