You're taking an overall reduction in violent crime in the US to mean that hate crimes have also decreased. The opposite is the case, and it is absolutely because extremist/fringe material has become increasingly and vastly more easily available. 50 dead in Christchurch, scores of Rohyinga in Myanmar, 11 dead in a Pittsburgh Mosque are all victims from what you call a 'pressure relief valve.' "An FBI report released in November 2018 detailing hate crimes across more than 3,000 police agencies showed a more than 17% uptick in 2017, fueled by increases in attacks against religious and racial minorities. The count documented 7,175 hate crimes in 2017. The tally was 1,054 higher than the year before. It included a 37% increase in anti-Jewish crimes, a 24% increase in attacks on Latinos and a nearly 16% rise in crimes against African Americans."[1] [1] https://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-poway-jewish-hate-... |
