This is not Saudi Arabia or Afghanistan ... so here there can vey well be women who voluntarily wear a Burka (similarly to catholic nuns who voluntarily take the veil.
(and even in those cases where the woman is forced to wear a Burka (by her relatives/husband) the woman is the wrong person to shame ...but rather the relatives who force her to wear it)
(As an adddendum: Is it O.K. to shame jewish women of the Haredi sect Nesot HaSalim if they wear their Burka-like full body and face covering?)

Like here, where you can clearly see that it is more likely to be a victim of a crime if you are black:
Eveen more interesting (as we talk about hate crimes) is this one:
https://ucr.fbi.gov/hate-crime/2015/.../victims_final
Where we see that, of the 4216 racial motivated hate crimes in 2015, more than 50% of the victims were blacks and only 20 % were white (so, in total a disproportionate percentage of black victims, considering that only 12% oof the US population are blacks)
(similarly btw. for the 1402 victims of anti religious crimes there is a disproportionate percentage of crimes motivated by Antisemitism (52 % of crimes) and Anti-Muslimism (22% of crimes))

And what abou people who shame men or women for having a non white skin colour?
And what abou people who shame men or women for having a non white skin colour?
(as a sidenote: Outside of Saudi Arabia and Afghanistan a Burka is extremly uncommon ... not even in Iran women wear a Burka (there the Hijab is common and enforced) ... so, Trumps planned Muslim Ban for the 7 states will not change all too much ... People from Saudi Arabia (who may shame women for not wearing a Burka) will still be able to enter the USA ... and except of Afghanistan (which has only few refugees), none of the states on the list has Burka wearing women (Syria, where the bulk of refugees come from, even has more western clothing styles for women, with many of them in the cities not even wearing Hijabs )
