It does...the differences between the different types of murder are based on someone's thought process.
Did someone go out to try and murder you? Did they try to harm you yet you ended up dead? Were they just negligent and you ended up dead?
The difference between all three is just the state of mind of an individual when comitting an act. I don't see how "did they kill you because they hated your race" isn't similar.
the differences between 1st and 2nd degree murder are based on circumstances of the crime, not the thoughts of the murderer.
If a woman kills her husband because she hates him, is that a hate crime? thats the problem with this, the definitions are all over the place.
