The intent of the law was that a crime was perpetrated on someone
*because* of their race or other protected status.

It's the difference between "let's kill this guy because he's an
asshole" versus "let's kill this guy because he's
black/muslim/gay/trans".

But, it can be loosely applied all too often - the same way everyone
except actual domestic terrorists can be called domestic terrorists.
