From the Santa Monica Daily Press: https://www.smdp.com/hate-crime/184926
Officers responded to the 200 block of the Santa Monica Pier for a fight. Two male blacks had assaulted three male Asians while yelling racial slurs. The victims were walking on the pier ramp when they were struck from behind. The victims were hit on the head and in the face. All three victims lost consciousness from the attack. ...

This is a Black-on-Asian hate crime, so it's not front page news.

Had it been White-on-Anyone, it would have been national news.

Had it been Black-on-Jewish, it might have been national news, mainly because of the increase in Black-on-Jewish hate crimes in the New York/New Jersey area.

But Black-on-Asian is of little interest to the news media, so it only gets a police blotter mention.

Had it been Black-on-White, it might not even have made the police blotter.

Had it been black-on-black, it might not have even been reported.

Because then it wouldn't be a "hate crime."

I was comparing different standards for how the news media reports hate crimes.

I am certainly not disagreeing with your observations.

Sounds like more of a personal dispute than a hate crime.

Well, last year there were 153 incident of hate crimes reported, and 68 of them were committed against black people (blacks have been the most victimized by hate crimes in L.A. for many years running).

How many times did the news report these?

I don't know, but I'm White and I was the victim of a hate crime in SM years ago. Back when I smoked, I didn't give a Black man a cigarette because I only had one left. I was called a number of racial epithets and was genuinely frightened because at the time I was just a skinny 21-year-old rocker dude; however, I didn't report a hate crime to the authorities.

Point being, there are probably quite number of hate crimes that don't get reported, so I'd hesitate to rely on police statistics. And yeah, I call BS on them.
