Actually, you may be right. There are some serious problems with the data in the link from post #93. There are two tables in the link, total hate crimes reported, and hate crimes per 100,000. I did some spot checking using total hate crimes reported, and population estimates from another link, and get different numbers per 100,000 from that listed in the link. Some are close, and some are way off. One, or both, of the two tables in the link contains errors.
EDIT: The problem is in the first table of the link in post #93. For example, it lists 509 incidents in Georgia, when it should have listed 27 incidents, and 509 participating agencies.

Whats clear.....the hateful part if country is not rural deep south. By any stretch of your prejudiced imagination.
And Washington DC is so bad it's pretty much unbelievable.
This isn't news to most people... Who live in the south.

Or the nature of the crimes being recorded.
A summary list like this would fail to distinguish between a hate crime like the 1988 Murder of Rebecca Wright (while some do not think of her’s as an “AT murder” she and her partner first ran into the homophobic killer at the Birch Run Shelters in PA), and an adolescent tagging a wall with racist graffiti.
Safer-America.com may have transposed the number of agencies and incidents however if you go to the FBI statistics in the link you posted above you will see the FBI has Georgia down with 27 incidents and a population of 8,948,013.That would be 89.48013 stated in terms of 100,000.
Dividing the number of crimes reported as 27 by 89.48013 we come up with an incidence for Georgia per 100,000 of .3017 which is what is on the list in the original link I posted.
Just for kicks,I went to the FBI table listed in your link and manually extracted the data to compare to the original link I posted.There is no difference in the numbers.
So one of two things must account for the discrepancies for the incidence of hate crimes committed in the tolerant Northern States vs the racist/bigoted/backward Southern States.
Either the FBI does not know what they're talking about or the Russians have once again hacked the data.........

The old 'racist south' is far from a myth, but it's nowhere near what's been insinuated in this thread.
No idea what is inferred, but the link to ny times below will refresh your memory. I suggest you look at county by county results for a better picture.
