It's easy to not have "hate crimes" when you're a small nation of relatively ubiquitous people. See how batshit Germany gets when Europe becomes a federation of a bunch of people who don't like each other. That's what US is. Canada is similar, but they never had to deal with the Deep South, and Canada gets along a bit better with each other because of it. They've definitely had to deal with race issues, like with the Innuits, but that still is nothing compared to the Deep South aristocracy, whose entire worldview was predicated on the inferiority of blacks.
Seriously, demote Merkel to the Governor of Germany, and elect the EU President along with a bunch of "shady" Italians, Albanians, and Latvians, and you'll find the word "hate crime" makes a resurgence
your ignorance is truly astounding. How can you say that because Germany didn't participate in the slave trade that they couldn't do hate crimes. What do you call the ghetto's the Nazi's created for the "inferior" race the jews and then their attempt to wipe out the jews, gypsies etc in the holocaust.
You stigmatize the deep south in the way that you talk about them in exactly the same way that the nazi's stigmatized the Jews and the slavers abused the freedom of the people they enslaved just because they were different.Look past the differences and everyone is basically the same.
