Reports of hate crimes against Latinos, including last year's shooting massacre in El Paso, Texas, increased in 2019, while the overall number of reports of hate-motivated killings hit its highest level since data began being collected in the early 1990s, an FBI report released Monday indicated.

Of the 51 hate-motivated killings reported last year, 22 of the victims — almost half — died in the El Paso massacre on Aug. 3, 2019. Most of the victims were Latinos. Authorities have said the gunman was targeting Hispanics when he drove hundreds of miles to El Paso and shot multiple people at a Walmart.

The massacre was investigated as domestic terrorism, and a 23rd person died from his injuries this year.

Reported anti-Hispanic hate crimes, which include robberies, assaults and other crimes, rose to 527 last year, up from 485 in 2018, an 8.7 percent increase, according to the FBI.

The reported number of hate crimes against Black people dropped slightly, from 1,943 to 1,930, while the reported number of religion-based hate crimes, most of them targeting Jews and Jewish institutions, increased by 7 percent. Those on sexual orientation were relatively stable.

In total, 55.8 percent of the reported hate crime incidents, according to the FBI, were motivated by bias against race, ethnicity or ancestry.

There were 7,314 reports of hate crimes last year, up from 7,120 the year before — and approaching the 7,783 of 2008. The FBI's annual report defines hate crimes as those motivated by bias based on a person's race, religion or sexual orientation, among other categories.

They swung towards Trump anyways...

I am disappointed but not surprised by the stupidity of humanity.

[Xing]

Yeah, but someone on Twitter said "latinx", and that's much more deserving of attention!

Significant % of Asians reported harassment and even hate crimes due to covid being blamed on China, which in turn, was targeted at not just Chinese but all Asian Americans yet even Asians swung toward Trump anyway.

Robberies?

How does that work?

If a white guy gets robbed by a black/hispanic guy and called a "gringo" or "cracker" while he's being robbed, that's considered a hate crime then?

Indeed, as a half-Asian I am extremely disappointed and honestly a tiny bit surprised. I thought we were better than to fall for Trump’s tactics, but obviously not.

I want to believe some R swing towards an R incumbent was inevitable, and that any other R incumbent would’ve gotten a bigger one than Trump did.

I expect Trump and many Republicans will view this is similarly to how Trump views COVID testing. The problem is there is just too much reporting, he will say. If there were just less reporting of hate crimes against Latinos, then there would be no problem, right? Too much reporting!!!
