re: #216 iceweasel

Seems like a hate crime to me. They were arguing about white privilege.

The professor, who is black, had been engaged in a fiery discussion about “white privilege” with Davis, who is white, and another male regular, who is also white, Friday night at 10:30 when fists started flying, patrons said.

You mean to say the professor wasn’t “motivated by hostility to the victim as a member of a group (as one based on color, creed, gender or sexual orientation).”

I’m opposed to hate crime legislation. But what the professor did appears to be a hate crime under the definition you posted.
