I thought that hate crimes don't take into account the race or orientation of the vicitim, just the specific motivations of the perp. That is to say, a hate crime can be committed against a white, male, hetero if it can be proven that white-male-heteroness was the motivation for the perp.
If as a white hetero, you kill a black homosexual, you are not automatically up for hate crime classification, unless it can be proven that race or orientation was part of your motivation.
