Every year, the FBI releases a report on hate crimes in America. It grossly underrepresents incidents of violence, threats, and bullying across America. A hate incident is a bias motivated incident committed, in whole or in part, because of actual or perceived race, color, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability and/or ethnicity. Hate incidents may or may not constitute a crime.
