FWIW, I think the way hate crimes work is that it's an extra punishment on 
top of the crime you already committed. If you beat someone up, that's 
assault. If you call them racist names, that's free speech. If you beat 
someone up while calling them racist names, that's probably assault and a 
hate crime.
