i was confused by the leap from making an effigy to a debate about hate crimes that actually take place.
this seems a screwy way to have the second debate, given that a stuffed dummy hangs over the whole thing.
this despite the fact that the question was implicit in cyn's op---it seems the base of it---why is x a hate crime-like action and y not one...but i thought this was already more or less settled. then context got stripped out and things went to this other place anyway. it's most strange. it seems like this conservative post-bakke inverto-discrimination logic only obtains in the abstract, and might as well have a stuffed dummy hanging over it.
