Just read how they determined the amount of racist name calling for the government study. They sent out a survey and asked selected students if they had ever been called a name or bullied because of their race. This was then extrapolated.
What a piece of useless garbage.
Also, the number of hate crimes comes from a survey which is then extrapolated over the total schools. It is not clear that a “hate crime” is really an adjudicated crime that is determined by the courts to include a hate crime designation. Quite possibly, from what one can tell from the government report, it is something the person filling out the report feels is a hate crime.
When I was in high school in the sixties a survey was sent out asking students about taking drugs etc. You could hear some kids joking about the answers. If I want a reliable report on racial name calling, I want more than the kids statement.
Plus, if kids get in an argument, they are likely to use whatever name calling advantage they have. This doesn’t in every case equate to rampant racial harassment.
At least let’s be clear, when we are talking about hundreds of thousands of incidents, we are not talking about recorded verified incidents. We are talking about estimates and extrapolations from what some kids put in a survey.
Calling bs on that article, reading it you would think racism ever only flows from whites to minorities and never the other way around. Not buying that in the slightest.
