Disproportionate.
“Law enforcement agencies reported a slight decrease in hate crimes last year, despite an increase against gays and lesbians. The FBI reported more than 7,600 hate crime incidents in 2007, down about 1 percent from last year. Racially motivated hate crimes accounted for more than half of that total. Religious bias was the second-leading motive for hate crimes, followed by prejudice against sexual orientation. Within those categories, the FBI report found most hate crimes tended to be anti-black, anti-Jewish and anti-gay. The FBI report is purely statistical and does not assign a cause for the slight overall decrease or the 6 percent increase in anti-gay hate crimes.” [AP]

“Of the offenses classified as hate crimes against persons in 2007, nearly…63 percent of known offenders were white and 21 percent were black.”
Yet blacks only make up 12 percent of the population. Apparently they attack non-blacks at a rate double that.
