California Leads in Hate Crimes, Crimes against Whites not mentioned.

Funny how when a lone white is attacked by lets say a group of Latinos or blacks that is not called a ‘hate crime’ basically with all the alphabet groups and the Government it’s like Whites aren’t considered an Ethnic Group or race.

In fact when a white is attacked or killed by said group etc, notice the ethnicity of the attacker is not mentioned or it’s not ‘head line news’ such as the mentioned stories had. Why is that? Whatever the answer is it’s not right.  Shera~

California, New York and New Jersey continue to lead other states in hate crime statistics. According to figures from the annual FBI report released Monday, hate crimes have declined nationally, decreasing by 13 percent in 2009, but these three states continue to have the highest rates.

Fatal hate crime cases such as the beating of Luis Ramirez in Shenandoah, Pa., gained national attention. Ramirez, an undocumented immigrant from Mexico, was walking with his white girlfriend when he was attacked and beaten to death by a group of white teenagers in 2008. Another case that made national headlines was that of Marcelo Lucero, an Ecuadorean immigrant who was beaten by a group of teenagers near a Long Island train station in 2008.

But national media attention does not seem to have changed the reality in areas with high Latino populations.
According to the FBI report, California had more reported hate crime incidents last year than any other state, with 1,015 cases. New York followed with 626 and New Jersey with 549 cases. Despite these figures, the states have seen declines in the numbers of hate crimes compared to 2008, when there were 1,381 cases in California, 744 cases in New York, and 570 in New Jersey.

Congress defines a hate crime as a criminal offense against a person or their property, motivated, in whole or part, by a bias against race, religion, disability, ethnicity or sexual orientation.


In California, most of the hate crimes were racially motivated, with 453 cases. This was followed by hate crimes based on sexual orientation (222), religion (194), ethnicity (142) and disability (four cases).
However, the high number of reported cases in California could also be a sign that more people in the state are coming forward to report the crimes.

Ty Cobb, legislative director for the Human Rights Campaign, told La Opinión that the numbers are higher in California, New York and New Jersey because there is “higher awareness and education about what hate crimes are, as reported and investigated. There is a preparation to identify.”more
