Whether this woman was white or Hispanic or anyone else has no bearing whatsoever. She may have been on the receiving end of an unfortunate hate-filled diatribe at some point. It boils down to her intent to harm and dehumanize other individuals who were singled out as being "different". And yes, her words and actions would certainly meet the criteria for a hate crime. It's fortunate that the law finally caught up with her.
