hate crimes

Albion College in Michigan seems to think so

When racist graffiti appeared on the walls of a dormitory at Albion College in Michigan, the college heads and student body were outraged. The graffiti, which included racial slurs, anti-Semitic remarks and multiple references to the Ku Klux Klan, prompted college officials to put forward a $1,000 bounty for anyone with information as to the perpetrator. Albion College President Mathew Johnson warned that ‘if they are Albion College students, they will also immediately be subject to the student conduct process — including the potential for suspension or expulsion’. Criminal charges would follow.

Why are there so many incidents of invented or imagined racist hostility?

Another racial hoax has occurred on an American campus, this time at Albion College, a small liberal arts institution in Michigan.

Racist graffiti was found on the walls of Albion’s Mitchell Towers last week. The graffiti consisted of racist slurs, including the N-word, anti-Semitic references, and allusions to a Ku Klux Klan presence on campus. Investigations quickly revealed that a black male student was responsible for the vandalism. He was caught on video and confessed to authorities.

Police have recorded over 2,000 ‘non-crime hate incidents’ by under-17s since 2014.

Police are recording ‘non-crime hate incidents’ (NCHIs) committed by children.

NCHIs can be recorded when someone is accused of showing ‘hostility towards religion, race or transgender identity’, but no crime has been committed. There does not need to be any evidence of hate – just as with hate crimes more broadly, the only requirement is that the victim or anyone else perceives the motive of the non-crime incident to have been hateful.

He internalized the white man’s racism I tell you!

When I heard about the Atlanta Asian massage parlor shootings last week, my immediate thought was, Here come more hate crime lies, at the exploitative expense of the dead.

There’s no evidence that the alleged killer was motivated by anti-Asian animus.

Most attacks on Asian Americans are not carried out by racist whites.

Hate crimes against Asian Americans have increased substantially across the largest US cities. Recent killings in Atlanta, at Asian-owned massage parlours, have drawn international attention. Eight people were murdered, six of them women of Asian descent.

Some in the media have tried to blame the attacks on ‘white supremacy’.
