Hate crime statistics

There are arguments that claim that all sorts of crimes are motivated by hate,I'm sure there are many,but people who make that point seem that all crimes are motivated by hate and that's simply not true,other reasons are poverty and greed. The thought of hate crime rises really does surprise me,i guess there is more hardcore racists out there than i thought or a bigger demographic having a come out party.I don't believe that hate crimes deserve special punishment i believe they deserve harsher punishment. Racists are not just targeting black people,they are also harassing Latinos and Jewish people,and on that note the term anti-Semite is funny to me cause all racists are anti-black,anti-Latino or anybody that's non-white, lets just call them racists and in this case white supremacists.
