It would be considered bias intimidation in New Jersey at the very least.

>In the past, N.J.S.A. § 2C:16-1(a)(3) held that a person was guilty of bias intimidation, or committing a hate crime, if the victim of the crime “reasonably believed that either that (a) the offense was committed with a purpose to intimidate the victim… because of race, color, religion, gender, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, national origin, or ethnicity, or (b) the victim or the victim’s property was selected to be the target of the offense because of the victim’s race, color, religion,” and so forth.
