Every hate crime is vile.
Fake hate crimes are even worse, IMHO, as they make things more difficult for real victims.
Like I say with fake rape claims, people who do fake hate crimes should get a severe punishment. In several western countries, it should also include fraud charges as these countries have victims' funds. In the UK, there was a woman that kept claiming to be a rape victim and got 12 men sent to prison and finally got busted on the 13th. She changed her name by "poll deed" and moved around, which helped her get away with it for so long. Anyway, she was only charged with making a false police report, but not for defrauding the victims' fund of £7,200 for each "rape".
