Latino victims. Only white perps.
According to the recently released Department of Justice annual hate crimes report, about 60% of all hate crimes were perpetrated by the racial category of “white”. You can see for yourself here. Neither Latinos nor Hispanics are mentioned, but it is well known that somewhere between 88% and 91% of all Latinos are classified as “white” by race in the USA.
However, when we look at the statistics about victims of hate crimes, we see that Latinos/Hispanics are well represented with their own ethnic category. Look here.
This is profoundly dishonest. MR readers may want to try their statistical skills to tease out additional problems or information. Merging “white” and most “Latinos” in a single category of hate crime perpetrator and assigning them all the racial label “white” has been the practise since national statistics of hate crimes were first recorded. Of course, when it comes to victim status all “Latinos” are bunched together. Thus, the “white” perpetrator class is pumped up, and the “white” victim class is comparatively reduced.
By the way, this approach also applies in other areas. When you look at statistics on unmarried mothers, for example, you will find that “Latinos” are scattered within the races as part of “white,” “black,” and “Asian” and serve to seriously expand the “white” racial category of unmarried mothers.
This is also the origin of the “non-Hispanic white” label although you will never see “non-Hispanic Asian” (yes, they are a real category) and “non-Hispanic black” (another big category).

Bo,
The ham-handed statistical manipulations of the establishment are varied but with one clarion theme - they are always anti-white. I posted a bit on my blog regarding the disconnection between pictures and racial labels for sex offender tracking. The pictures of those called “Caucasian” are laughable in many cases. Like you say victims can be latino but not perps.
