When I talk about e.g. the distinction between verbal abuse and violent crime I do have some personal experience. I have friends who've been physically assaulted for being minorities; I don't consider that to be in the same range of harm as graffiti or crackheads yelling stuff.

So we have a racism problem, or these things are acceptable in limited quantities? I don't get it.
This started when I posted a link saying hate crimes were dramatically higher this year, and you disagreed based on "investigation rigor". As if the VPD, for some reason, are trying to inflate these particular crime stats.
