Very generally speaking, hate crime legislation is legislation to add stiffer penalties for crime perpetrated against another person for the sole reason of hatred. For instance, if two guys get in a fight over a parking space, that is not a hate crime. It's just simple assault. If a white guy beats up a black guy solely be he is black, that is a hate crime.
