Hate crime?

Race is a protected class and in many cases so is sexual orientation. I know it's a difficult concept but people can be hated and perhaps in this case attacked simply because of their skin color. I'm unsure why it matters what color the skin is.

As to the question I posed I didn't get much feedback so I'll share my opinion.

We don't have enough knowledge, we must know what is the source for the hate and what was the trigger for the action. If her hate was sourced in race and the delay was a trigger then yes it's a hate crime. If the source was she always has to wait for her McNuggets and the appearance of the worker was a trigger then no it's not a hate crime. 

But either way; as you say she is wrong, not sure about crazy.
