Sometimes the difference is so subtle that only the person it is aimed at would know the offence (as some bigots are very subtle how they say and do things: others often hide behind humour or some sort to make a hate comment). The victim can tell you the difference between someone making a comment/expressing a view to someone who is being horrible. Some hate crime is an extension beyond bullying and no-one would have a problem identifying bullying when they saw it. Hate crime can be more subtle and is not always 'in your face'."

Oh Fuck!!!!    Be afraid.......Be *very* afraid!
