So you believe that people are arguing that this is not a hate crime because you have not seen any discussion on it?
If that is the case, then you are commiting the logical fallacy of making an "argument from ignorance".
Western critical theory intellectuals, or even SJW's if we must use that term. I am not really sure how to classify them and their way of thinking. They will make the audacious claim that whites can never be victims of racism. Most of them will dismiss legitimate concerns as impossible. They constantly shift goal posts and define everything in the way they want it. Having an honest or equal discussion with such people is almost impossible. It is quite possible for two people to hold completely different opinions on an issue but when one side keeps denying facts or when another tries to keep pushing narrative it is a fruitless exercise. How can you have a discussion with someone who does not even view objective reality in the same way as you do?
Please provide a link and a quote to someone arguing this very argument that you think SJWs make. Thank you.

No, that is not what a hate crime is. The FBI has defined a hate crime as a “criminal offense against a person or property motivated in whole or in part by an offender's bias against a race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, ethnicity, gender, or gender identity.”
Both victims are human beings and their attackers deserve the same punishment. Simply enforcing existing laws would work just fine, but being this is America we always choose to pass more laws rather than actually enforcing existing laws. Hate laws are politically motivated and politically enforced to the detriment of whites. Their enforcement defies the realities of our society and they need to be eliminated.
And now you seem to not understand how people are charged with hate crimes.
A hate crime is not a separate crime. It is a way of categorising those crimes (for which we already have laws that prohinit them) that are motivated by prejudice. The perpetrators get charged with the crime they committed, and the fact that it is a hate crime only comes into play during sentencing.
