| Topic | Blue states have twice as many hate crimes per capita per year than red states |

It may not be the only answer, but it's worth taking into account. Underreporting is a huge issue across the board. Crimes in general. Hate crimes. Sexual assault. As someone who works in safety, I know it's a huge problem with safety incidents. Nobody wants to be the one to admit that "there's a problem", so they just don't report when they happen. If anything, this data could be used in reverse to underline that blue states are the ones willing to call out hate crimes when they happen instead of trying to sweep them under the rug. *I* won't do that, because that'd be doing the same thing Mal is in reverse, but it goes to show that even if you have data, if you interpret it poorly, you come out looking like an ass. Like I was saying earlier, this doesn't mean that these crimes aren't being reported at all, but that someone filing the report doesn't check the "hate crime" box for one reason or another. --- CyricZ ...
