RE: Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are both White and from Wealth.
what Trump supporters explicitly say.
You're whitewashing what Trump supporters actually say. Look, there were a lot of people supporting Trump and if we're going to be honest there were probably a lot of different reasons. I'm sure the reasons you listed are there, hopefully for the majority... but there absolutely were white supremacists supporting Trump.
My city woke up to this, for instance:
Are you sure that graffiti wasn't a false flag ("satire")?
Funny how that's the excuse you both jumped to.
I'm a firm believe on Occam's Razor though.

Not quite - the pic you posted was not reported as a hate crime. The data set comprises reported hate crimes. Common sense says that an unreported incident would more likely be a hoax, because it would be spotted as a hoax (or as fishy) before it's deemed a hate crime.
One of the reasons why prosecutors have >90% conviction rates is that they refuse to prosecute iffy charges.
Also, this:
Timing matters...
Roughly 30 per page and 6 pages, a quick scan shows dates of 2010 so at least 6 years. That gives 180 falsely reported hate crimes over at least 6 years.
According to the FBI there were 5,479 hate crimes in 2015 alone. https://www.fbi.gov/news/stories/latest-hate-crime-statistics-available
So even if I do the math incorrectly in your favor, by comparing 10 years of hoaxes to just 2015, that's a roughly 2% chance that this was a hoax.
I bet a Clinton supporter wrote that just to get the pic. Plus , there are racists who voted Clinton and racists who voted Trump.
