07/14/2008: "'Hate crime' victims: Young, poor, white"

The most likely victim of a hate crime in the U.S. is a poor, young, white, single urban dweller, according to an analysis of Justice Department statistics collected from between July 2000 and December 2003.

A November report by the Bureau of Justice Statistics detailing a study of 210,000 "hate crimes" a year during that period has gone virtually unreported by the U.S. press.

But it does contain some surprising numbers. While race is, by far, the No. 1 factor cited as the reason for hate crimes, blacks are slightly less likely to be victims and far more likely to be perpetrators, the statistics show.

[ It has always been the case that Whites were many times more likely to suffer a racial attack (or any attack) from a non-white than the other way around. I wonder if this admission will lead to this truth being more widely accepted. ]
