sunlit_musicWondering what to do when someone says hate crimes are rare/don't exist/happened a hundred years ago?
Keep on reading.
Racist violence is happens a lot. It's widespread. It's happening now, and it's happened in the last 10 years (not just the last hundred, or two hundred).

Hate crimes not only affect people individually. They affect members of the targeted group, and make them feel they could become victims of hate crimes too. They divide society.

Psychological effects (of a hate crime)
From a psychological standpoint, hate crimes may produce devastating consequences. A manual issued by the Attorney-General of the Province of Ontario in Canada lists the following consequences:[6]
• effects on people – psychological and affective disturbances; repercussion on the victim's identity and self-esteem; both reinforced by the degree of violence of a hate crime, usually stronger than that of a common one.
• effect on the targeted group – generalized terror in the group from which the victim belongs, inspiring feelings of vulnerability over the other members, who could be the next victims.
• effect on other vulnerable groups – ominous effects over minoritarian groups or over groups that identify themselves with the targeted one, especially when the referred hate is based on an ideology or doctrine that preaches simultaneously against several groups.
