Islamic hate crimes
This chart describes the hate crimes towards the Islamic community in the United States in the last fourteen teen years. The graphs show the melting pot in 2001 covered in black, which was the highest rate of Islamic hate crimes in history. There were 481 cases of hate crime in the U.S In my conclusion I believe the hate crime raised its highest in 2001 just because the fall of the twin towers in New York City was an essential historic period in which the United States enforced more security in streets and subways. Later the United States held sort of responsible all the Islamic community living in the city. White Citizens primordially contained a bias thinking towards the Islamic as terrorist and not as equal. Any Hispanic or black looking Islamic was searched unfairly without any justifications. Our hate crime in the United States are very common in our society, we get picked on and later treated like a criminal without proving innocence. Paying high prices by others actions it’s unfair.

Leticia - This is a great description of the chart. Although i was not able to see the chart itself, your description made it clear for me to picture it in my head. I am glad you added your opinion on how you feel about the racial crimes that have increased due to the 9/11 attacks. Maybe, you can try to be more detailed with this argument. What exactly caused the U.S to feel responsible for the Islam communities? What efforts, if any, were made to help? And, have the crimes decreased a decade later? This is a good text to read already, but perhaps, if you add more clarified details, the text can be more expository and can expand even more.
