Comment on If not intentially a minority and I get into a fight and I did not know they were gay, palestinian, jewish, or whatever. Can I still be charged with a hate crime? Or does one have to know first?

  I thought being religiously motivated also would qualify as a hate crime? Or is the implication that one’s religion is also immutable?

    That’s a good point; I had overlooked that as a category. That said, it is sort of the odd one out in terms of “immutable traits” (notwithstanding Jews specifically, at least when referring to ethnicity rather than religion).
