And for every one of those, there is a Sherri Papini and an Amy Cooper.

this site shows 18 "hoax" listings during the year 2020. There were over 8000 hate crimes reported that year according to the FBI.

btw, the site you linked seems to be an anonymous website with no indication of provenance or purpose ... unsolicited advice but I would caution against such material. You might find this information helpful: https://www.uow.edu.au/student/learning-co-op/finding-and-us...

I don't appreciate your condescending link. I would caution against treating the FBI as a good-faith actor in the realm of statistics or otherwise.

The FBI, a large portion of whose budget would be eliminated if such crimes subsided or disappeared?

Who themselves has been caught engineering acts of terrorism, again to secure budgets and make themselves seem needed?

What a source to cite.
