Wrong-o buddy. There are hate crimes committed against pretty much all groups in NYC. You can check out the hate crimes dashboard yourself.

So if all races experience “hate crimes”, why not create bills for everyone? Or is that reserved for those who should be a “protected class”? The point is, if anyone were to attack a jewish person for any reason, it would be labeled a hate crime, which isn’t necessarily the case for anyone else besides the two groups mentioned. I think any crime against another person is bad, hate or not btw.

This bill is not the same as the ones made for asians & jews. This is a prevention unit. (Not suggesting I’m against it, but rather it’s not specific for each race as it is for the ones I’ve mentioned). Also Trump signed the bill for Jews (Good guy?) 🙂

And is federal. This is r/nyc. It's not an NYC bill.

So you’re saying a Federal bill does not cover nyc?

I'm saying it's irrelevant to this thread.

So was your comment in reply to other races not receiving bills specific to them? You’re suggesting because it covers all states, and not just nyc, that it means it’s meaningless? Here’s another bill.
