There
is a data collecting anomaly in the FBI UCR forms.
"Hispanics" appear as a separate
category in the victim section from Whites.
However, they do not appear in the Offender's category.
Therefore, they are automatically added with Whites. This
artificially inflate the White crime and Hate-crime rate.
There is an exemple of this fact in the State of Nevada
UCR reports. In the 2001
Hate crime UCR (10Mo), the person who Made the UCR
, mentionned "white (hispanics)" in
the Offender category . There were therefore 2 Hispanics-on-Whites
hate-crimes recorded that year.
In
2002
(10mo) and
2003 (10Mo), this was not done anymore. Therefore,
some hispanics are listed in the victim category and never
in the offenders. but there are many "white
on white" crimes.
This
anomaly lead to European americans taking the blame for
many hate-crimes they do not commit.
While
the white victim category is accurate since Hispanics
are automatically counted separately from "Whites",
the FBI and Most states' data is unreliable concerning
the white offender category.
If Hispanics are a separate victim category, they should
be a separate offender category, especially since, culturally
and ethnically, they differ a lot from White Americans.
In order to avoid this confusion, there should be two
distinct categories: "Hispanics" and "European
Americans" in the offender category.
