DESCRIBED. AS A RISING TIDE OF
HATE MISINFORMATION ON THE CODE
NINETEEN PANDEMIC THE RECENT
JUST CONCERNING RISE OF WHITE
NATIONALISM AND OUR NATION'S
LONG AND TROUBLED HISTORY OF
DISCRIMINATION HAVE RESULTED IN
SOME OF THE HIGHEST CRIME RATES
CALIFORNIA HAS SEEN IN DECADES
ACCORDING TO A TWENTY TWENTY ONE
REPORT FOR THE ATTORNEY

TWELVE. THE NUMBER OF REPORTED
HATE CRIMES IN CALIFORNIA HAS
INCREASED BY EIGHTY NINE POINT
6% WITHIN THAT OVERALL NUMBER

LAW ENFORCEMENT IN FACT IT'S A
SAD REALITY THAT TOO MANY PEOPLE
ESPECIALLY FIRST GENERATION
CALIFORNIANS. OFTEN DON'T
RECOGNIZE WHEN AGGRESSIVE OR
VIOLENT BEHAVIOR TO WHICH THEY
MAY HAVE BEEN SUBJECTED.
CONSTITUTES A HATE CRIME EVEN
WORSE THE REMAINS IN PLACE A
FAIRLY PERVASIVE ATTITUDE THAT
THE RECIPIENTS OF HATEFUL ACTS.
