Unfortunately this sort of false-flag "hate crime" is all too common. The reason stems from the outrage culture that plagues our nation. People are so geared up to be offended and outraged by something that some especially disturbed ones are driven to invent a situation to be offended and outraged by if none are at hand.

And the consequences of such allegations are severe. You could lose your job, your career and even your family.
Can you tell me more about "outrage culture"? I never heard of the phrase before.
I didn't coin the term, but it describes the mindset of those who seek "safe spaces" from ideas they find strange or threatening, get "triggered" from speech or ideas that they find potentially offensive or upsetting, and see perceived value in parsing and putting into a hierarchy a checklist "historically oppressed groups" one can be slotted into based on race, gender, religion, or anything else they can imagine. For such a person, being "marginalized" or "oppressed" is a badge of honor and a status symbol. The people who fake these "hate crimes" no doubt feel entirely justified in doing so. They will argue that their fraud is irrelevant, since the "hate crimes" they fabricated are so widespread that any outrage generated by their fraud is deserved.
