Does anyone have any actual data about this supposed increase in discrimination crimes? I'm not saying it's not real, and I'm not excusing the current rate, but something like this shouldn't be based on personal anecdotes or how many upboats a news story gets on leddit.
The Southern Poverty Law Center was declared a racist hate group by the Northern Poverty Law Center. Their "statistics" are pure propaganda and fake news.
They did, that was retardly low bar compared to actual tracking efforts they do. Anyone under 30 knows Pepe was just appropriated from the masses anyways. But don't worry SPLC isn't mentioned once in the linked article.
I absolutely have the data that proves that hate crimes are increasing this year versus last year, here let me cite these two data sets from different sources that define hate crimes widely differently because it supports my feels
You're making the mistake of assuming "hate crime" means anything. The vast majority of hate crimes are verbal only. Vast majority. Also, whether or not something is declared a hate crime is largely up to whether or not the victim wants it to be. It's a nonsense term that does nothing for anyone. Well, except fuel racial animosity. It does that super well.

I'm a PoC and I have been trembling in this corner since Election Day. Why are you erasing my lived experience?

Do they count the "hate incidents" that occur on /r/drama?
I'm sure we can eclipse 1,000 in less time.

Looks like some state reps on both sides may not agree with you...

Looks like some congress reps think it's legitimate and it's got nothing to do with feels.

I don't have a source but I'm very sure that hate crimes have risen because it feels right to me and also big orange man scares me
