- proximity to minorities is a factor. red states tend to be heavily straight christian whites(nothing wrong inherently with them) and have very low IR dating and such and heavy segregation. Not enough "others" to victimize.

- how crimes are categorized are a factor. many crimes are not categorized as hate crimes even if they're motivated by race.

- Georgia, Wyoming, South Carolina, Indiana, and Arkansas do not have ANY hate crime law on the books and these states are notorious for racially motivated violence even today(as well as religious and sexual orientation based violence). Especially SC, Georgia and Arkansas. So you can't track what does not get caught in the tracking system's net.
