Why do only white people get charged for hate crimes?

Because I haven't heard of any African americans posting an anti-white manifesto online before murdering people with high-powered assault weapons.

When they do, I am sure they will be charged with a hate crime.

@Pherick check out South Africa right now. South African farm attacks are violent crimes, including murder, assault and robbery; that take place on farms in South Africa, targeting farmers, who are usually white

@WeighedDown Agreed, its been a long time problem since the end of Apartheid, however, I would guess we were talking about the US here. I have no idea what South Africa's laws are regarding a definition of hate crime, or even if it has one.

@WeighedDown I doubt that the OP is talking about South Africa.

@QuixoticSoul we are all of one world and hate is hate

@WeighedDown On one hand, yes. But context matters, and discussing the perceived imbalance in applying US hate crime legislation is a common conservative talking point.
