The overwhelming majority of offenders are British-born. Overwhelmingly the victim is someone known to them, either a partner or relative.

So Disney wins a stack of awards for Andor, the most blatantly, unapologetically anti-fascist work in decades, and the lesson they learned is to immediately lick Nazi boot and fire Jimmy Kimmel for telling the truth.
