Many might feel "what's the point?" given how often when anti-Semitism is mentioned people take it as a signal to "pivot" to the oppression of another group. So, really, what's the point? Hate crimes, in general, are underreported. Some states, still don't report hate crimes or hate crimes against specific groups, especially the LGBT, but the point is, even with the ones who DO report, we, a minority of 2.6% still make up the THIRD largest group being attacked. More reports by African-Americans wouldn't change that fact! BTW, there are a lot of anti-Semitic cops out there too!
