Wow, that's surprising. Usually it's not hate when I'm looking to nail something.

Usually, but ~~occasionally~~ rarely there's the hatefuck.

If you get in an argument with your neighbour and put a framing nail into him, that’s assault. If you put that nail into protected minority and it can be proven that you were motivated by bigotry and a desire to subjugate that minority, you are guilty of a hate crime, which is a much more serious crime
