Because hate crimes are not the only unit of measure for homophobia and racism.

It would make sense that a more racist/homophobic population would have proportionally more hate motivated crimes, would it not? 

Yes, but is it the only unit of measure? Also, do all 50 states in the US have the same definition and interpretation of what constitutes a hate crime? Do the number of hate crimes reported represent the actual number of hate crimes that occurred?
