The New York Police Department has a new (not very good) Hate Crimes Dashboard.
One interesting feature is a "word cloud" showing the relative frequency of bias crimes by type, sizing each type by how frequent they are.
As we have seen in the past, anti-Jewish crimes are by far the most prevalent in New York, although for the first half of the year they were not more than half of all the bias crimes. Still, the word cloud is startling:
If the United States is structurally racist, then perhaps it is endemically antisemitic. (I don't believe that.)
