Andrea Noble reports for The Washington Times, Aug. 19, 2014, that the number of race-based hate crimes in Washington, D.C. increased from 13 in 2012 to 18 in 2013, and that the majority of victims were white and the majority of suspects were black, according to D.C. police.
The disclosure comes as a wave of riots and looting after the fatal shooting of an unarmed 300-lb. black 18-year-old by a white police officer in Ferguson, Missouri, has highlighted racial tension in the St. Louis suburb and prompted widespread calls for an evaluation of race relations between communities and their police departments.
Census data in 2013 put D.C.’s black population at just under 50%, with whites making up 35% of the population and Hispanics another 10%.
Of the 18 victims of race-motivated hate crimes last year, 10 were white, four were black, two Hispanic, one Asian and one of another race, according to D.C. police.
Regardless of the statistics, David C. Friedman, director of the D.C. regional office of the Anti-Defamation League, somehow knows that the small number of hate crimes in which minorities were victims is due to minority victims being reluctant to report crimes.
He said, “In many African-American communities and other parts of the country, no matter what the demographics of the police department are, there are levels of concern” with coming forward, because of general mistrust of police among minority communities or language barriers among foreign-born populations. “In the case of the District, there are very few hate crimes reported against Latinos and Asian-Americans. But it would be wrong to conclude that there are none occurring.”
Gosh, I wonder who the perps are in those unreported hate crimes against Latinos and Asian-Americans?
You have any idea? [Sarc]
