The Coast Guard stated in its new policy, which was published this month, that the “terminology ‘hate incident’ is no longer present in policy.”

“Conduct previously handled as a potential hate incident, including those involving symbols widely identified with oppression or hatred, is processed as a report of harassment in cases with an identified aggrieved individual, or in accordance with Chapter 11 of this Instruction,” the Coast Guard wrote.

Under the new policy there is no such thing as a "hate incident"; it is "harassment"
The statement that "Swastikas and nooses are no longer hate symbols" is true.
