The very idea of hate crime, in my ignorant opinion, is a violation of the constitutional guarantee of equal protection under the law.

When you establish a protected class by making a crime against a member of that class a more severe crime than the exact same act perpetrated against a person not a member of that class then you have granted that class greater protection under the law.

This will end up in the Supreme Court someday and it will not pass constitutional muster.

At this rate, midget tossing will soon become a hate crime and that is something we simply cannot allow.
