Hate in the USA
Lynchings and cross burning in movies portray a sterotypical image of racial hate crimes but those are only a small number of the historical hurt done to racial and ethnic minorities in the name of hate. Beatings, floggings, drownings, arson, and bombings make up many more of the egregious hate crimes.
