      I’m going to do a delayed update on a tweet from 9/11 that sparked a lot of outrage. Before I start, however, let me give you some data from the FBI’s hate crimes database, showing victims of hate crimes by motivation in selected years. https://ucr.fbi.gov/hate-crime  1/pic.twitter.com/rMFNwEG6UU

      You’re digging yourself in deeper. You really should stop. This is embarrassing, and you’re really lowering my opinion of you. Just admit your mistake and apologize. It’s the much better response.

      With great respect, Krugman makes his case. If you don't agree, give us better numbers than he provides.

      Did you notice anything uninformative about that chart? Notice how the numbers are not normalized to population.🙄

      "Normalized" as in "levels of bigoted attacks to be expected"?

      Clearly, you don’t know what normalizing a raw count to the population means.🙄

          Always glad to be clear, and it's a fair cop, guv'nor. My expertise is in a dead language, 20th Century English, and the craft of fiction. Should you wish to try your hand at writing novels, I'm at your service: https://crofsblogs.typepad.com/novel/ . And I promise not to patronize you.

          That said, in my ignorance I take your normalization remark to mean that the proportion of hate crimes against the target population to be acceptable if it is small enough, and objectionable if it is high enough. Please correct me if I've misunderstood you.
