the mistaken belief that crimes committed against special interest groups (e.g. homosexuals, ethnic minorities etc) are somehow worse than the same crimes committed against anybody else, and therefore should be punished more severely. Another example of the insanity of political correctness.
I punched him in self-defence because he tried to molest me; now he's calling it a hate crime!

Generally, a crime committed against one or more individuals for which there is evidence that the motivation was hatred of the race, religion, color, ethnicity, nationality, national origin, sexual orientation, or gender identity of the victim or victims.
"They tacked extra time on my sentence for a hate crime aggravation because I'm white and the guy I beat up was black. It seems black people get special protection. It's anti-white reverse racism."
"You asshole, three witnesses testified that you were screaming 'N****r, n****r, n****r' while you were kicking the shit out of him. If you'd kept your fucking mouth shut, the court might have gone easier on you. Though your KKK tattoo might still have made the jury suspicious."

You average ignoramus will remember 3 facts about WW2:
- The Japs bombed Pearl Harbour
- Hitler killed 6 million jews
- The Allies won
I could ramble on for years about my WW2 knowledge as I've read hundreds of books by various authors - American, British, French, Chinese, Russian, German, Japanese... and one fact stands out from all - the victor dictates popular history, ie. that which is published in text books, general facts that people can recall etc. etc.
War crimes and atrocities were indeed committed by both Allied and Axis soldiers. The Allies won the war, therefore dictated popular history. Ever thought it strange that Allied troops "didn't" commit war crimes, and those that did were documented were only Russian? That's a combination of post war/Cold war propaganda. Most people never heard of British troops mercilessly gunning down French civilians who were looting dead Allied troops, or Americans executing Poles and Ukranians fighting for the Germans, Canadians executing German tank crews after fierce restistance at Caen, American Jews nailing captured German officers to barn doors and bayonetting them...
We all know what atrocities the Germans and Japanese committed and I am in no way saying they were distorted or made up... just know that Allied troops didn't exactly come home smelling of roses

Noun. A crime against the common standards of conversational decency, typically involving excessive underserved hubris and inspired through the reading of one or more books by Jonathon Haidt. Does not involve sex with a chicken carcass (contrary to a popular belief).
Jared committed a Haidt crime during a conversation with Ben by excessive gesticulation while holding a copy of "The Righteous Mind" and repeatedly referring to the six facets of morality. He also referred to Hume at least three times more than is considered reasonable in a half-hour period and uttered disconcerting words-sounds like "Hive-Switch."
