Why hate crimes are a problem has been explained quite well in >>5

As I've stated in >>2, hate crimes supposedly also cover whites from hate crimes against whites, Russians from hate crimes against Russians, and so on. Wether or not this is always applied in your country, I do not know. But it's true that some ethnies and religions are prompt to call the hatred crime even when it's not one, because there is a bigger stigma on those so it makes the affairs more important.

Also hate crimes aren't always murders. There are other kind of crimes.
