The hate crime element normally gets dropped in most cases.

This still doesn’t show what the first commenter was saying. I read the article and the jist of it seems to be that hate crime charges often get dropped since they are hard to prove and therefore it’s better to charge them with something that will actually stick. There seems to be a higher burden to prove it’s actually a hate crime and not just an assault beyond the attacker just being another skin color.
Anyways, the data I was asking for is data that shows “people who commit hate crimes against Asians get the charges dropped at a higher rate than hate crimes against other races”. This is what the commenter was claiming and nothing so far has supported this.

Lol the man on the picture is a white Puerto Rican. The fact that they dropped the charges despite the attacker beating him and saying that he hates Puerto Rican’s is insane.
