Newly released data from the FBI shows hate crimes in 2022 reached an all-time high since the agency began tracking such incidents, up nearly 7% from 2021.
Experts who spoke with the BBC say a host of factors, including aggressive political rhetoric and social media, have contributed to this uptick in violence - and they worry a heated upcoming presidential campaign season and violence in the Middle East could worsen the trend.
I thought you were a MAGA guy talking about Islam until that last bit lol. Your speech reminds me of post-9/11 “patriots,” explaining their freshly awoken xenophobia. Idk if you meant to or like if that’s the joke but if so, well done lol. I mean just about word for word, just replace “the MAGA nuts” with “those sand n-words” and you sound exactly like my uncle in 2002.
