>hate crimes (also known as bias-motivated crimes)

Correct, certain groups on the internet saying the most vile things they can think of because of a perceived slight is not bias-motivated so it's not a hate crime. Congratulations on your enlightenment.

(And just to preempt an argument you might have, the fact that someone trying to be as offensive as possible uses discriminatory language against their target does not imply that discrimination is the reason they are verbally attacking. It only implies that such language is in fact offensive.)
