The major difference is that a hate crime is completely "unneccessary". It's killing or harassing somebody you don't know, because of things they can't help. There is no valid motive for committing a crime against somebody that way. In other cases you always have a motive; money, long-term hatred etc. Basically an action directed at improving one's position in life. When it comes to hate-crimes, there's no such reason. The victim could be anybody, and these types of actions truly damage whole cities, because they cause paranoia and mistrust.
It has nothing to do with with what type of murder is worse; the point is that hate-crimes truly damage society as a whole.
