I'll assume that you are just stupid and ignorant when you write this
which is quite simply untrue.
Be careful who you offend

Won't this just lead to more people running to the police because of hurt feelings, where no actual crime has been committed?
Think? That must be the same as believe?
Is there any evidence of this belief of yours? Could I possibly disprove your belief? Probably not. Then I must be guilty of being a snowflake based purely on your belief, and nothing else.
Hmmmm.
...but not quite simply proved otherwise.

How can that be, if the perp also had a blue badge?

I did say "could".
The fact that the "already parked" motorist had a blue badge was not initially apparent to the "irate" motorist. It appeared that the "irate" motorist thought he had more right to the parking space than the "already parked" motorist, but on what grounds? Disability or race?
Also "race" was mentioned, apparently be the "irate" motorist.

To be clear:
This is highly misleading and doesn't make any sense. What they are trying to say is - its not an offence to stir up dislike for a person, be mean, rude etc.. but if its based on race or religion (or lack of religion) then it become an offence.

So, then - it IS an offence.
I think you might have chosen a poor example because inciting racial or religious hatred IS already an offence.
I am struggling to think of a true example of doing something which is NOT illegal - i.e. something you are allowed to do - which, if only done because you hate someone, leads to you being charged only with hate crime, not that which you actually did.
Does anyone have an example?

That is exactly the point..
A hate crime - is an offence and/or an aggravating factor to an offence
A hate incident - is a data collection task.
