Okay, I thought it went more like this :
killing by accident : punished for manslaughter
killed because of money : punished as murder with a motive
killed because of hate-crime : punished as murder with a motive
In other words, hate crime is just a motive and would recieve a punishment more or less that of any other motive depending on circumstance and severity. Any motivated murder is usually punished more harshly than manslaughter.
Because that would make perfect sense to me.
