Inaction wears thin on hate crimes
The critic might ask, what does privilege have to do with this legislation? When you boil away all the rhetoric, this bill gives law enforcement usable tools to punish those in our society who target victims for the sole purpose of oppressing them as individuals but more importantly as a class of persons. Protection of these potential victims is not venomous; it is humane. Privilege comes into play, then, when the people we have elected choose who among us gets protection and who does not. That is, of course, their job as legislators to make tough choices.
