You're steering all over the place now.
Motive does overshadow frequency when we're talking about hate crimes.
But crimes of violence remain overwhelmingly intraracial rather than interracial and perpetrated by people we know rather than strangers.
So you wouldn't win a debate there.
ETA: Keep in mind that I never said that heterosexual white males have never been/are/will be targeted for hate crimes. This race, gender, and sexual orientation combo is of the power majority in this country which translates to a small(er) likelihood of group victimization based on race, gender, and/or sexual orientation.
Sorry, T La Rock, LL killed it.
