If someone asked me for as many examples I could think of, of groups that have or do perpetrate hate crimes I would think, immediately, of the KKK, Nazis and white supremacists. Then I would think of fundamentalist ********** (insert any organised religion or fundamentalist political ideology).
Too often hatred from whites against folks of colour is based on, 'we're the rulers of this world and we will do anything to remind you of 'that/your place' in the world.
Personally, I also see hatred as a result of fear, ignorance, upbringing and poor or perverted education which only feeds our deeper unconscious 'shadow' as noted by the deepest of thinkers in our history - Jung, Nietszche, Kaufman, Perls and others. But that's a massive -- and very confronting conversation -- for another time. (In other words, racism, xenophobia, Metathesiophobia and so on are symptoms of something far deeper within us all... oooo, oooo.... cue spooky music).
See we all have different life experiences.
If someone told me to provide examples of hate crimes, it's thugs of the same ethnic persuasion beating up on innocent kids and being in a gang.
