We've heard it time and again. When someone uses the term "those people" or "their kind", or "you people." What was it Barbara Bush said about the Katrina refugees in Houston?

I guess racism or indifference crosses over into the hate category if one feels justified in injuring or killing someone he is indifferent to. I truly believe that that is what GZ did. He did commit a hate crime.
