As for the second part then it becomes a matter of why? And then to consider how often is crime truly random? It isn't like every act of violence or vandalism is without motive. What automatically makes those motives less deserving of punishment without consideration of the motive itself.

I think it is because how hatred spreads. People are inherently predjudiced if racism is allowed to percist it will spread. So to fight that the state identifies these types of motives as worse.
I think that if you look at the motives for crime hatred is in fact a worse reason for a crime then the others as there is no lack of control or personal gain. It is a completely unecessary crime. In general the motives for crime are
Money
Revenge / Jealosy
Hate
Rage
Entertainment
Rage is less contolable more spur of the moment, but other than that the motives are self serving except for a hate crime which has no purpose but inflicting pain
