This fake racial incident stuff seems to happen a lot of college campuses. I guess Tawana Brawley and Al Sharpton got the ball rolling on this one. I think it's a self hating Black thing going on. Similar to the phenomenon of the self hating Jew

I am sure that you are right and some of it is present. I believe, however, that for the most part it is (i) a safe prank ("you ain't gonna be mad at me 'cause I am offending my own people"), and (ii) a provocation, whereby you can easily create more problems for whites whom you dislike. As this incident shows, if you acted on such assumptions, you'd be fine.
