Including but not limited to those of religious, race, and sexual orientation. The greatest portion of the remainder were hate crimes based on ethnicity or nationality. When a hate crime is committed, it sends a message to the targeted individual and community as a whole, so that they are aware they are unwelcomed, fearful, unaccepted.
