It could be argued in multiple ways. First in this (and many) cases, there was a racially motivated crime committed against themselves. Secondly, scapegoating a target race encourages animosity and erodes community trust, which is exactly what a hate crime does.

Of course a law like that would never pass because only precious POC ever fake hate crimes.

At the bare minimum it should have been Incitement and Incitement to Cause Terrorism.

Disorderly fuckin conduct... Disorderly conduct is dropping an F bomb in a kids play gym, or decking someone.

Not trying to fuckin start a racially motivated fight/riot.
