DENVER — Colorado hit an all-time high for reported hate crimes in 2021, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation's annual hate crime report, which tallies and analyzes reported incidents across the nation from the previous year.
“After five years of increased hate crime reports, and in the aftermath of the Club Q shooting, we all must decide what we are willing to do to confront and prevent hate in our state,” said Scott Levin, regional director of the Anti-Defamation League Mountain States Region. “Each and every one of us must speak out and push back against this insidious trend.”
“A person comes from behind me, puts his hands on me, starts saying, ‘Get out of the country. You’re a terrorist,’” Singh recalled. “He rips off my turban — there was a chunk of hair he ripped off — and he tried to go for my beard, so I blocked it. But, he had me in a headlock immediately.” Dilpreet Jammu, executive director of the Colorado Sikhs organization, said that data confirms an increase in hate crimes against the Sikh community, and believes capturing the data is an important step in addressing the issue.
