Why is ‘white supremist violence’ being made into a paper tiger? And what is ‘white supremist’ violence anyway (besides the obvious swass wearing uniformed skinhead acting a fool)? Is hate speech automatically white supremist if a white person says it? What if hate speech is directed at a white person? Is it a crime, or just being rude? Are there no stats because it’s not a big issue to begin with?

Nobody knows.

“According to NJOHSP’s 2017 Terrorism Threat Assessment, there were 22 domestic terrorism attacks in 2016, seven of which were committed by white supremacists nationwide.”

“... the Bureau reports the victims’ perception of bias in the crime, and nearly every victim used the offender’s hate speech during the crime to identify the bias. Interestingly, only seven percent of surveyed victims reported that law enforcement confirmed that they experienced a hate crime.”
