Hate crimes in the United States surged 11.6% in 2021, with the largest number motivated by bias against Black people, followed by crimes targeting victims for ethnicity, sexuality and religion, the FBI said in a report released on Monday.
Bias against Hispanics totaled 433 incidents, while the FBI reported 305 such incidents targeting Asians.
"Hate crimes and the devastation they cause communities have no place in this country. The Justice Department is committed to every tool and resource at our disposal to combat bias-motivated violence in all its forms,” Gupta said. The nation's two largest cities - New York and Los Angeles - are now included in the hate crimes analysis reported on Monday, while Chicago was able to provide two quarters worth of data for the report.
