11. Doesn't that make rape the leading hate crime by far?

Almost by definition, rape is a hate crime against women. So every rape conviction should be doubled up?

And isn't the standard you suggest applicable to muggings or thefts, as these terrorize all people who live in that given neighborhood?

I question not the goal but the means, and am open-minded to being convinced in a serious debate about this.
