[quote name='xxDOYLExx']The point is that the statistic dosent mean anything when its a widley held belief that a minority can't be racist (look up the definition of a hate crime). The comments that you are responding to that others have made are not without merit.[/QUOTE]
"Hate crime laws in the United States protect against hate crimes (also known as bias crimes) motivated by enmity or animus against a protected class. Although state laws vary, current statutes permit federal prosecution of hate crimes committed on the basis of a person's protected characteristics of race, religion, ethnicity, nationality, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, and disability."
That was easy.
Nothing about affecting minorities only, because they don't, hence the fact that hate crimes can occur against white people in the US, they do occur, and they make up nearly 1/5 of race-related hate crimes.
Their comments are without merit because they're irrelevant. Somebody said something about charging the woman behind the camera with "inciting a hate crime," I'm not sure if that's an actual offense, but whatever, that's not an entirely unreasonable comment. Then somebody responds by saying only white people can be racist, implying that they can't be charged with hate crimes. Yet they can, and people are regularly charged with anti-white hate crimes ("regularly" as a percentage anyway, as all hate crime charges considering any bias are very rare).
Again, the point?
