Um, this is the point? Are you even paying attention? We're talking about a norm that exists - hate crimes in Canada. You are saying it shouldn't. I'm saying your rationale for that position is idiotic. What are you even talking about?

In addition, you also have to explain why racism is actually not a crime, but racism in addition to another crime is a crime, and somehow distinct from the crime already being committed.
You have to actually make laws that are actually enforceable, which requires an actus reus in addition to intent. This is how our legal system works.

What is this gibberish?

Oh, that clears it up, thanks. What's fairness, by the way? And why would adding transferability to fairness make it justice? Because you think that should be the definition? By the way, what makes your conception of justice good?
