If Arab victims are classified as white, how can the rise in hate crimes be tracked?
They don't track hate crimes based on what people list on their census form, its based on what is reported. They might cross reference census data for crimes as a % of the population. But if someone of Arab descent reports a hate crime they don't just say "white person was victim of a hate crime because of the census data".
