The joining of 'intent' and 'act' are necessary components in ALL crimes - you can't have a crime without those two factors in conjunction with one another. There is nothing 'special' about so-called hate crime except they it is committed against certain special government designated groups of people. A crime is a crime, regardless of who it is committed against. The definition of what constitutes crime does not change.
