Who said anything about proof? It's not as if the GGP proved his claims either.

"iPhone demand is greater than supply"

"Not sure how you can say that when this one guy sold his iPhone"

It sounds like a counter argument and fails to be one.

The idea of "demand" for hate crimes doesn't even make sense, so there isn't any argument to respond to. Clearly, the intention of the original commenter was to minimize the existence of hate crimes. That is what I was responding to. You might also bear in mind that it is not difficult to find other examples of hate crimes than the one I chose, or to find official statistics:
