SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Hate crimes driven by homophobia and racism resulted in a 33% surge in reported incidents in California last year, following a similar spike in hate-driven attacks the year prior and confirming what officials have been hearing anecdotally since the pandemic began, the state’s attorney general said Tuesday.
Attorney General Rob Bonta said that crimes against Black people were again the most prevalent in 2021, climbing 13% from 2020 to 513 reported incidents. Hate crimes motivated by sexual orientation bias increased nearly 50% to 303 incidents while crimes against Asian Americans were up 178% to 247 incidents.
“One hard truth in our state, just as we see across the nation, is that the epidemic of hate we saw spurred on during the pandemic remains a clear and present threat,” said Bonta, a Democrat, at a news conference. “Each of these incidents represents an attack on a person, a neighbor, a family member, a fellow Californian.”
Crimes showing bias against Latinos increased 30% to 197 incidents in 2021 while anti-Jewish bias events increased 32% to 152 in 2021, the most in the religious bias category.
Bonta announced the new position of a statewide hate crime coordinator within the California Department of Justice to assist state and local law enforcement efforts to battle hate crimes.

“One hard truth in our state, just as we see across the nation...”
WRONG
Only in blue states LIAR
The disparity between the racial breakdown on “regular” crimes versus “hate” crimes” suggests a strong bias against accusing blacks of hate crimes, or of classifying attacks on Christan churches as hate crimes.
Anti-Black, gay, Asian bias fuel California hate crime surge fueled by rabid incitement against all colors of conservatives from DNC.

Edited for accuracy.
Racism by whom? It is not whites who are performing or being arrested for these crimes. The racism narrative is flawed.
I dunno. I hear of many instances of Blacks attacking Asians; and, Blacks and Whites attacking Gays; but, I have never heard of a Gay person attacking a Black or Asian.
Where is all of this Asian on Black/Gay crime happening?
“Hate crime” is really a meaningless cliche. How much of the anti Black crime is between, Caribbeans and Native born Blacks and recent African immigrants? Or the anti Asian crime between Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Vietnamese, Indian etc? Are these “hate crimes” based on racism, or tribalism?
Blue state blues.

Sounds like the coalition of ‘Rat grievance groups have been set against each other.
No details on “crimes” (notice how the article lists “crimes” against blacks but “hate crimes” against others? — the article is about “hate crimes,” but the truth ever outs itself) against blacks, except for mention of the Buffalo shooting by a white (and unmentioned communist).
Here for the link to the official “report” https://oag.ca.gov/system/files/attachments/press-docs/Hate%20Crime%20In%20CA%202021%20FINAL.pdf
If you look on p 34, it lists “Hate Crimes” by location... starting with “abandoned structures” and “air/bus/train terminals” ... onward through bars, day care facilities, jail, liquor stores, schools, services stations...
The b.s. is strong in this one.
Wait until the real commies take over.
These assorted fruit loops are going to be very disappointed.
Yet most of this is black on black violence? Or black on everyone else violence? Or illegals on American violence?
Its not happening. Crimes against blacks are rising - committed by other blacks. I think AP is engaging in some very selective editing and twisting of statistics.
Were there any ‘hate crimes’ committed against whites? Were there any ‘hate crimes’ committed by blacks?
But they never tell you WHO THAT MAN WAS!!!
“hate crimes” violate double jeopardy protections.
Hate crimes against blacks, gays, asians, latinos, everyone except the group the lying sack of crap who penned this bullsh*t wants everyone to think is responsible.
I guess we should be thankful they just implied it and didn’t come right out and lie blaming whitey.
But if you’ve been to CA anytime over the past decade you’d realize how utterly RIDICULOUS that assertion is.
Brianna Kupfer's murderer was not charged with a hate crime...so, there's that.
