Hate crimes in America dramatically increased from 2019 to 2020 for almost
all ethnic/race groups. Simply, hate crimes against Asians are not the only eye sore for America since 2019.
In addition, it continues as such into 2022 with most of the hate crimes increases has been against religion, sexual orientation, and gender identity. Something not talked about enough...
- There has also been a dramatic increase in hate organizations, online hate literature, and anonymous targeting. An example of hate literature titles...this forum Elitetrader.com has a thread called Kung Flu that was started during the Pandemic for political reasons...around the time a U.S. President use the same derogatory phrase.
Not only was there a dramatic increase in hate organizations...many are associated with the political right. Hate groups grew in unison with Anti-Government. They generally target people of color, women, LGBTQ people, religious minorities, immigrants, and non-Christians.
- Hate crimes against Asians and Religion saw the most dramatic increases but overall...those statistics are below the stastitics of hate against other ethnic groups.
The compilation of hate crime data, published by the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism, revealed that anti-Asian hate crime increased by 339 percent last year compared to the year before, with New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles and other cities surpassing their record numbers in 2020.
The significant surge is part of an overall 11 percent increase in suspected hate crimes reported to police across a dozen of America’s largest cities.
The report also found that Black Americans remained the most targeted group across most cities. In New York, the Jewish community reported the most hate crimes last year, with researchers, in part, linking increases to the three-week Gaza War in May. In Chicago, gay men were the most targeted.
Simply, other ethnic groups are hated more than Asians which explains why those other ethnic groups are targeted more by people with hatred.
America: The Land of Hate
The statistics below are for the huge spikes in 2020 and it's about the same for year 2021 although mass shootings against ethnic groups have increased in 2021 and 2022.
Anyone that knows their history about Pandemics and rising temperatures...what we currently see happening in America...reduction of overall violent crime in the first year of a Pandemic and then dramatic increases in crime as countries traverse from a Pandemic to an Endemic...
- Retailers and believe it or not...pick pocketing see the most dramatic increase in criminal activity although a slightly different topic than violent crimes due to hate.
Yet, I believe there are more hate crimes against Jewish people than Asians but it seems like those statistics (crimes against Jewish people) are thrown in the religious groups instead of race.
No matter the statistics and no matter the city...call hate crimes what it truly is...
The BIG LIE is that America does
not have a problem with HATE.
