[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The recent wave of crimes against Asians is the worst in the last thirty years as far as I remembered. Yet very few of these crimes are classified as hate crimes. I have yet to see an announcement from FBI that they are investing the massage shooting to find out if this is a hate crime.[/quote]

Aren’t there certain markers of hate crimes that need to be in evidence to classify? Are all crimes hate crimes?

In order to control public outrage, isn’t it better to say there is no evidence of a hate crime if it’s the truth? It doesn’t mean they won’t bring evidence to light if it’s found. [/quote]
You mean, it’s better for white audiences to hear that a white man doesn’t seem to have committed a racially motivated crime? Because that is not what Asian Americans and women want to hear.[/quote]

Not saying that. But why do groups *want* to hear their group is a target of something if the evidence isn’t there (yet)? I can’t understand that. [/quote]

You probably live under a rock. [/quote]

I’m fairly tuned in. I don’t understand why the insistence that this is a racial hate crime before evidence is collected. I agree it might be. But the evidence hasn’t been presented yet and there are other factors that explain the majority of victims’ identities. [/quote]
Some people are just slow on the uptake when it comes to being on the right side of history. Genuinely curious - if you had lived in the past, given what you know about who you are and your point of view, how long would it have taken you to admit that Jim Crow laws were racist? That segregation of schools was wrong? That Hitler was an anti-Semite? Would you have ever admitted to these things, or would have waited until it was too late?[/quote]

You know nothing about me.  I would have called it the second I saw it in all cases you mention. You are a bigot beyond belief and have no interests in facts.  You are no better than Donald Trump. [/quote]
