New 2008 FBI "Hate Crime" Data Reflects Positive Trends in "Anti-Hispanic" Incidents


Shredded SPLC Credibility in the Tank

The Federal Bureau of Investigation just released its "2008 Hate Crime Report." It is interesting to note that Anti-Hispanic crimes showed a significant drop for 2008 compared to the same data in 2007. This trend is positive and reflects an increase in public understanding and community cohesion.

Specifically, the FBI 2008 hate crime statistics highlighted the following:

  • Anti-Hispanic incidents fell 6%;
  • Anti-Hispanic offenses fell 5%;
  • Victims of anti-Hispanic incidents fell 4.6%; and
  • Known offenders against Hispanics fell 6.2%.

Curiously, there is no mention of these positive trends by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). Sadly for the nattering bigots holed up in their Montgomery (AL) bunker, these positive trends again shred the SPLC's credibility and its absurd contention that the immigration debate was driving an increase in anti-Latino hate crimes - an assertion that had no basis in fact from the start.
