- A hate crime, known as a bias crime under Oregon law, is any crime where the perpetrator’s motivation is based on bias.
- Both bias crimes and incidents can be verbal, physical, or visual, and can target someone in a protected class, a family member, or even someone incorrectly perceived to be in a protected class.
Examples could include:
- Name calling; using a racial, ethnic, or other slur to identify someone; or using degrading language.
- Creating racist or derogatory graffiti or images/drawings.
- Imitating someone with a disability, or imitating someone’s cultural norm or practice.
- Assaulting, injuring, or even touching someone in an offensive manner because of their perceived protected class.
- Threatening to physically harm a person, their family, or their property based on their perceived protected class.
