Here's a new word for you, kids: bias crime.
NEWARK, N.J. - Police are investigating a graffiti attack on several buildings on Rutgers University's main campus in New Brunswick, including a Jewish community center and a fraternity house, as a bias crime.
On Saturday morning, swastikas were found spray-painted on Rutgers Hillel. They were also painted on the porch and front door of Alpha Epsilon Pi, an historically Jewish fraternity.
Three other buildings were damaged by spray paint, but no swastikas were painted on them, police said.
Got that? Bias crime.
Like giving unfair news coverage to the Monica Lewinsky scandal, or like defending Sammy Sosa after the corked-bat thing because you're a Cubs fan.
Or like spray-painting swastikas on campus Hillel buildings.
Y'know. It's all just the same. Simple bias. That's all.
