→Hate crimes and censorship
[[Objectivism|Objectivists]] and [[libertarians]] argue against the notion of hate crimes for minorities in general, saying that the only "true" minority is the smallest possible one, the individual. Therefore, killing any individual is a crime against a "minority" - the victim. Additionally, libertarians argue that it is wrong to punish an individual solely for a belief that led him to kill somebody. In other words, although libertarians feel it is wrong to murder someone because they are black, homosexual, or any other claimed minority, it is also equally wrong to murder someone because they are wearing a [[hat]]. However, even the most liberal individuals do not claim that the latter should be a hate crime, unless wearing that particular type of hat is a religous practice.
