Even if hoaxes have to be perpetrated to get the social change that is needed, it is okay, because it is a means to a 'just' end. And even if these things such as someone yelling the N word on campus at some students, or someone smearing a feces swaztika on a wall, were complete fabrications and hoaxes, it's actually okay, because, you know, these things surely do happen all the time on almost all college campuses, it's just the perpetrators keep getting away with it.
So the hoax only brings to light a deep, systemic cultural problem that is there, though no proof is ever actually acquired, but it is there. And since it is there, the hoaxes and behavior is justified and celebrated.
Like a certain Rolling Stone article about campus rape?
I heard that what sparked all of this wasn't a flag or someone using the n-word, it was hunger strike boy being pissed that he lost his health insurance. He blamed the school but, as it turns out, it's mandated by Obamacare.
