A new statistical paradigm is born at Oberlin
In the question-and-answer session, a student asked Malkin if these hoaxes she described were representative stories.
“For every one that is faked, dozens are true,” the student said.
“There’s a lot less than you might think,” Malkin responded. “A lot of stats are hyped.”
She added that a lot of “under reporting” occurs with regard to fake hate crimes.
Asked for a percentage on exactly how many hate crimes might be fake, Malkin said, “I can’t put a percentage on it…This is about a psyche. It deserves greater scrutiny…I wish a sociologist would take up this field.”
It has to be true - I wrote a book about it!
She told the audience that once, in kindergarten, she came home crying because she was called a racist name.
“My mom wiped my tears…and told me everyone has prejudice,” she said. “I am eternally grateful for this [lesson].”
Oh, I see. Everyone has prejudice, but many hate crimes are faked. And speaking of fake hate crimes…
Reading from her notes, bodyguard standing in front of her, Malkin recounted tales of Oberlin students seeing racism in situations that to her were not racist at all.
Oh? Situations like this?
I find it rather comical that you put this much effort into someone you dislike so much. Actually, rather than comical, I’d probably have to go with sad.

Don’t kid yourself. It doesn’t take much effort.
But, it could be worse. I could write an entire book complaining about unhinged liberals. Now that would be putting a lot of effort into someone I disliked.

She’s high. She is really, reall high and she’s not faking it.

Michelle is playing the Rush Limbaugh “No, you’re not a victim. I’M the REAL victim” playbook page by page.
