They’re categorized by bias, not by the identity of the victim. Consider someone harassing Black Hispanic gay man with anti-Black vs anti-Hispanic vs anti-gay vs anti-male slurs.
Yeah, but without a map of the overlap, it’s not clear that “Anti-X sentiment” in uncorrelated with “Anti-Y sentiment”. At first it seems that if they’re tracked separately, a combined score can tell you whether overall things are going up or down. But unless an unlabeled score is available, then if there’s overlap, by adding everything together we might be overcounting. (Does the number of “hate crimes” increase or remain the same, if all 4 types of slurs (one of which isn’t in the graphs in the post) are employed in a single case?)

Yes. If only one type of slur were used it would be categorized as a “Single-Bias Incident” and included in the breakdowns, while if more than one were used it would be a “Multiple-Bias Incident” and not included in the breakdowns. So for the total number of incidents I’m using the Multiple-Bias count, while for the breakdowns I’m using the Single-Bias ones. The number of incidents categorized as Multiple-Bias has gone up over the years, from initially ~0 to about ~1%, but it’s still pretty small compared to the total.
one of which isn’t in the graphs in the post
Anti-male isn’t in the graph because I’m only graphing the five most common. Looking at the my cleaned data I see 22 anti-male incidents, compared to 1,943 anti-Black, 726 anti-gay, and 485 anti-Hispanic ones.
