Another Hate-Crime Hoax

Some on the right like to say:  the demand for racism outstrips the supply.
Here's some more empirical evidence for that point.
   If we really cared to find out, this stuff should be amenable to empirical investigation. Though I'm currently horrified by the frothy antiliberalism of the progressive/extremist left--well, I've always been horrified by the frothy antiliberalism of the extremist (Orwellian) left...it's just that it's no longer a fringe phenomenon. That left is the left now. Or so it seems.
   But anyway: though I'm currently horrified by the crazy antiliberalism that's gripped the left, and so my impressionistic judgments can't be trusted, I do tend to read stuff toward both ends of the spectrum. My impression is that, when I was younger, the left was far more level-headed and objective about racism in the U.S. Currently, however--as with so many things--its beliefs seem philosophical, quasi-religious, unverifiable/unfalsifiable articles of faith. The right seems to view racism through a clearer lens.
   One view is that it's the very fact that the demand exceeds the supply that's caused the left to retreat to such nearly-superstitious conspiracy theories about "systemic racism" and "white privilege." It's clearly a factor in the rise of such racial hate-crime hoaxes.
   Anyway, these questions are empirical ones--or they'd better be, anyway. If we could trust the social sciences to give it to us straight...ehhh...might as well stop right there, I reckon...
