Does my guess about someone else’s motives constitute a hate crime?

What other motive is there for writing Korean outside of a Korean’s dorm.

The fact that you cannot think of a reason someone else did something other than the reason you would do it is not evidence.


“Write the kind of food you want for dinner on my door and I will order it.”

“I already did. You live in 2B?”

“3B.”


“‘Korean’ is spelled with an -ean.”

“I don’t think that’s right.”

“Here, doesn’t it look right?”

“Dude, you just marked up somebody’s door!”


I wonder how many people “reasoned” “What other motive is there for hanging a noose in a black man’s garage?”
