So your society disapproves more of the murder of a black man by a racist than the murder of a white man by the same racist?

Now that is just silly Jon.

Where did "disapprove" come from?

A description is imply a description, a definition of the thing.

Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!

More serious and disapprove are not synonymous.

If that same racist killed a white man because he hated white men it too would be a hate crime.

But I still don't see where you are getting anything more than a description. What makes you think society disapproves of hate crimes more than other crimes?

Get over it. It is simply a label.
