You're arguing an extreme.
If a person has a proven penchant for saying racist things, and then
beats up a black guy, and there isn't an obvious motive (money, self
defense, organized crime), I'm sure many will push for it to be treated
as a hate crime.
But that's a guess. I never observed if this kind of stuff happens.
