Crime Hate crime reports in US surge to the highest level in 12 years, FBI says

[MMABrooklyn]

CNN More than 10,000 people reported to law enforcement last year that they were the victim of a hate crime because of their race or ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender, religion or disability -- a number that has been on the rise in recent years, according to FBI's annual hate crime statistics report.

The report, released on Monday, found more than 7,700 criminal hate crime incidents were reported to the FBI in 2020, an increase of about 450 incidents over 2019. The increase comes even as fewer agencies reported hate crime incidents in their jurisdictions to the FBI than in previous years.

Last year had the highest tally of reported hate crime incidents since 2008, when 7,783 incidents were reported to the FBI.

Attacks targeting Black people rose to 2,755 from 1,930, and the number targeting Asians jumped to 274 from 161, the data showed.


The data released on Monday showed that bias against African Americans overwhelmingly comprised the largest category of reported hate crime offenses pertaining to race, with a total of 56% of those crimes motivated by anti-Black or African American bias. Asians have been targeted during the Covid-19 pandemic amid online and political rhetoric stigmatizing them, though this category of hate crime is often underreported.

The category of hate crime incidents where a victim was targeted because of their race, ethnicity or ancestry had the highest increase between 2019 and 2020, with 4,939 incidents in 2020 compared to 3,954 the previous year.

According to the FBI report, 62% of victims were targeted because of their race or ethnicity, up from 58% in 2019. About 20% were victimized because of sexual-orientation bias in 2020, and 13% because of religious bias, the FBI said.

Overall, more than 10,500 people reported that they were victims of a hate crime motivated by a single bias, and 333 were victims of crimes motivated by different biases.

Of the known offenders, more than half were White, according to the FBI.

Hate crimes reported or confirmed hate crimes? The former doesn't mean much in this day and age.

 

[Sir Burton]

We (as a country) have unfortunately expanded the definition of what constitutes a hate crime, that it’s not really surprising.

Falling for what?

The liberal race baiting. As if white people are on the attack out there.

Look at any assault statistic. Each race assaults their own race the most except black people assault Asian people more than Asian people assault Asian people.

How does one decide if it's a hate crime or not? Are the perpetrators yelling "MAGA!" before they attack like they apparently used to after Trump took office? Does the person that got assaulted just get to make up their own reason for why they got attacked if the person who assaulted them doesn't specifically state their reasoning for attacking before they attack?

If a flamboyant gay guy gets in your face and calls you a bitch and you punch him, did you punch him because he was being annoying and got in your face or did you punch him because he was gay? Because he's going to report that you punched him solely for being gay.

Falling for what?

The percentages due to the very loose interpretations of what a "hate crime" is.

This is a statistic on "reports", not convictions. Some believe flying an American flag is a "hate crime". Let your brain do the rest on how the numbers are going up.

"Reports" being the key word. Actual hate crimes are probably 1/1000th of the reported cases.

lol at trusting anything coming from the fbi or any other state sponsored propaganda machine.

almost all the 'hate crimes' against Asians in my area were simply black guys beating and robbing old people who don't trust banks.

 

[Terry Noonan]

Statistics are racist

 

[Graves The Elder]

Statistics can be manipulated to express and extend whatever agenda is being proposed and promoted.

Anyone who visits WSHH (world star hip hop) or a variety of other online websites knows this is downright hilariously fake.

By the way, is the knock out game a hate crime?

.

But the statistics show that the majority of anti Asian hate crimes are committed by whites.
