New FBI Data: Minorities More Likely to Commit Hate Crimes than White People
Doesn’t fit the narrative?
New FBI hate crime statistics released on Monday indicate that minorities are more likely to commit hate crimes than White Americans. The data in question is sourced from more than 15,000 law enforcement agencies across the country.
The hate crime statistics broke down the demographic data of 6,406 hate crime offenders. 52% of the offenders were counted as white. It’s longstanding federal practice to usually count Hispanics in the category of White in demographic surveys, as the former is counted as an ethnicity as opposed to a racial category.
Queries of the United States’ precise racial and ethnic demography are hard to accurately survey, but the most recent US Census data indicates that non-Hispanic whites account for 60% of the national population.

The data indicates that White Americans are considerably underrepresented in the hate crime offender population.
A breakdown of motivations in recorded hate crimes reveals that race and ethnicity are the defining motive in 57% of cases. Religion and sexual orientation are the other two most common motives for hate-motivated offenses.
Black Americans were highly over-represented in the demographic profile of hate crime perpetrators, with 24% of offenders being counted as black.
Black Americans are considerably more likely to be made the victims of hate crimes than other demographic groups. Blacks were the victims 27% of the time (2,000 victims) in accounts of over 6,000 documented crimes, being represented almost double the national demographic of 14% in the broader American populations.
Jews were also disproportionately targeted in hate crimes targeting a religious group, accounting for 60% of the victims in these incidents.
The FBI accounted for 775 White victims of hate crimes, and 693 Latinos. (Hispanic affiliation was queried for demographic data of victims.)
An additional 14% of hate crime offenders were described as of being of the “unknown” racial demographic.

Crime Watch: Robberies and Rapes Way Down, Homicides Way Up Across US
Some police departments are blaming the increase on the unintended consequences of coronavirus restrictions and the summer’s mass riots.
According to statistics compiled from 223 police agencies, homicides across the United States have risen more than 28 percent and aggravated assaults around nine percent in the first nine months of 2020.
A Washington Post article details some of the cities where homicides have risen dramatically since this time last year. For example, Boston’s homicide rate has increased by 52 percent and Fort Worth’s by 66 percent. Interestingly enough, the cities that experienced some of the worst summer rioting have seen homicides skyrocket the most: Minneapolis (85 percent increase), Louisville (79 percent increase), Portland (68 percent increase), and Milwaukee (110 percent increase).
Overall, 70 percent of the large cities surveyed saw an increase in homicides, 21 percent a decrease, and nine percent no change.
There are several factors that could account for this, such as the coronavirus lockdowns and restrictions, the mass riots over “police brutality” and “systemic racism,” law enforcement budget cuts, and criminal justice reform.
In Houston, a city that did not see the levels of summer chaos that other cities saw, homicides are up 35 percent, and Houston Police Department Assistant Chief Heather Morris is partly blaming bail reform.
“We had 28 suspects last year who were on bond or parole when they committed a murder,” Morris said, “and this year we’ve had 44. The person who killed one of our officers a week ago was out on $100 bond for unlawfully possessing a weapon. […] Bond reform in some cases is needed, but you have people who allegedly committed violent crimes getting out on bond when they haven’t in the past.”
Chuck Wexler, Executive Director of the Police Executive Research Forum (PERF), said of the nationwide spikes: “We haven’t seen numbers like this since the ’90s. We’ve had 20 years of steady declines in crime. Is this just an aberration, or does this portend something for the future? This has been under the radar because of the pandemic, but something’s happening across the country in the most serious crimes. The next administration, they’re going to have to pay serious attention to this.”
Despite these troubling numbers in homicide rates, rapes and robberies are significantly down compared to last year. 73 percent of large cities reported decreases in robberies and 86 percent in rapes. This may be due to the coronavirus pandemic as well, since people are not out and about at the same level as last year.
