If it weren’t for FAKE hate crimes would there even be any hate crimes??
That’s a good question. I assume there are many actual hate crimes — just not enough to jibe with the level expected by the aggrieved. The frequency of hoaxes implies that the level of hate crimes in the minds of the “woke” greatly outstrips their experience, leaving them to feel cheated of their share of victimhood. Then all the “make a difference” propaganda kicks in and voila, hoaxes become an act of public service. I envision the hoaxers thinking, “Why can’t anything awful ever happen to me?”
