What does who I associate have to do with my comment?
And Judaism isn’t a race... it’s religion.... singling them out makes you an asshole not a racist...
Who you associate with has nothing to do with it but if you know a few people of Hispanic descent, their take on the issue of if racism is worse now than a decade ago might come from somebody you trust rather than some random yokel on a message board (like myself).
As for Judaism... Jewish can mean both in the religious sense, and in the racial sense. My friend is Jewish by ethnicity, but she's a non-believer from a religious standpoint, and her husband's background is about as white as it gets.
If you want actual numbers, hate crime (as defined by the FBI) is up by quite a bit in the last decade, but hate crime is a pretty wide range of offenses not just related to racism. The definition of a hate crime is a "criminal offense against a person or property motivated in whole or in part by an offender's bias against a race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, ethnicity, gender or gender identity."

There's the link - rather than interpreting numbers for you, I think it's better to give you the source and let you form your own beliefs. I don't know whether FBI cares about whether people are more likely to report crimes now than in the past, so that could play in. It's also important to note that their last full year of statistics is pre-Trump (aside from election season, obviously).
