Yes, hate crimes reported are up. So are agencies reporting them. Normalized for that, hate crimes are up 4%, overall.
Anti-arab down
anti-islamic significantly down
anti-black is down
Anti-jew is very significantly up
Anti-hispanic, no change within margin of error
anti-gay (male bias), down
anti-gay (female bias) up
anti-hetero up
