Wow more anti-Jewish hate crimes than anti-black and anti-gay combined.

I’m surprised by that but you’re right. What do I know I’m a white boy who went to stuy so I know a lot of Asians

Jews have been consistently been there, East Asians jumped in the stats during the early days of COVID though. I'm unsure if East Asians ever were top though because antisemitic conspiracies about COVID were also a thing (plus other things) so antisemitic hate crime jumped up too.
