Hello. See a definition of hate crimes here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hate_crime

So basically, they are giving extra harsh sentences to people (usually white) who have committed a hate crime. Personally, I feel that this isn't right. A crime is a crime, and it shouldn't matter to which marginalized group it is committed. When they make hate crimes a thing, they are essentially saying that one group of victims is more special than other groups of victims.

Besides, when you think about the kinds of people who are the victims of hate crimes, such as racial minorities, transsexuals, gays...etc etc, you will see that these people all have characteristics that make them repulsive to a normal person. For example, a minority who possesses unattractive, ethnic looks. A gay person whose lifestyle is rooted in degeneracy and is therefore very offensive. I am not saying it should therefore be ok to commit crimes against these people. Obviously assault, murder...etc are wrong, no matter the victim. But we cannot fault the perpetrator for feeling these hatred, antipathy and revulsion. It is a very understandable, normal impulse. A normal reaction to something grotesque.

The only true hate crimes that are those committed against people who are old or disabled.

Reminder to you Jessi: You are a holocaust denier that believes discrimination in workplace should be legal. No wonder you are also homophobic.

If I were you I'd be more humble as an Asian middle aged single woman in Canada.

The opinions of an Australian on anything:

Yep cus life's good man 😋

Why does Sturm insist on being hot? I want to know.

Here, I fixed that for you.

Not sure what your point is. You omitted the most important part of my post.

It’s hard to imagine any person being this stupid. AND displaying it for everyone to read

I am not stupid,

Just offering a different take and perspective. Too bad you can't see it.

A crime is measured, in part, by the presence of a victim--or multiple victims.

You murder someone? Individual crime.

You murder someone because they're Black? A crime that affects a whole community.
