There's nothing wrong with hate. It's a perfectly normal human emotion. A good number of crimes are motivated by hate. I don't see why the punishment should be any different, whether the motive is greed, hate or lust. Perhaps the punishment could be lighter if it was accidental i.e. carelessness.
PlainName:
We are not talking, say, burning someone's car or nicking their garden gnomes, but calling them names on twitter and the like. Or 'maliciously displaying' golliwogs. Thus the hate is the crime; it's not a motivation or aggravation of some other crime.
Nominal Animal:
An increasing number of humans live in a reality where events are completely random, and only emotions have true meaning.

To them, an action or an event can be either positive or negative, depending only on the emotions and experiences of the people involved.

Observe people and examine their logic or reasoning, and you can see this for yourself.  I personally do not like it, but there is nothing evil or wrong involved in it per se; it is just some kind of cultural change that I suppose is related to the effect of immersive social media on human reasoning and social adaptation.

I've noticed as society has become progressively safer, the bar to what constitutes harm has been lowered.
TimFox:
That evolution (assuming the society truly is safer) seems natural.
Away from warfare (national and civil), the violent death rate has come down in the world.
