“Every year, the FBI publishes a report on hate crimes. Since 1996, when it began releasing the annual figures, anti-Semitism has remained the number one hate crime in the United States.”

Looking at the FBI hate crime statistics for 2019, I see the number of “Anti-Black or African American” single-bias hate crime incidents, offences and victims is more than double that of those under the “anti-Jewish” category.
