This is all about intent, a lot of you seem to be missing that point...
'If I get into a fight with someone of Italian background, being Irish does that qualify as a hate crime? (Move to Brooklyn and find out how important a difference race is)'
Are you fighting with him because you hate italians?
The 'why' seems to be missing from a lot of those against this form of legislation.
