The whole point of the qustion though is to point out the very obvious fact that the crimes simply are equal.
Stabbing someone because you need money and stabbing someone because you are racist is the EXACT same crime.
Stabbing someone twice for money is obviously worse then stabbing someone once because you are racist. (Well for most people, I honestly never expected someone to argue that there is no amount of damage someone can deal to be as bad as a racist.)
Even stabbing someone once for money and shoplifting is worse then stabbing someone once because you are racist.
It causes more damage.
If you give someone 12 years instead of 10 because of their motive. You are saying their motive makes their crime 20% worse.
And are suggesting that it is equal to someone else commiting the same crime and something that would get you 2 years in jail. Like I dunno Arson or something.
This is... stupid.
