Blacks are beating up the ultra-religious Jews at an increased rate.

In January alone, several Orthodox Jews were punched, seemingly unprovoked, in broad daylight on Kingston Avenue, the main Jewish thoroughfare in Crown Heights. In late January, a 22-year-old Yeshiva student was beaten on the street while calling his parents on the phone in Australia. A few hours later, a 51-year-old man was beaten so badly by the same assailants that he was hospitalized.

This NYT article reads like a veritable Greatest Hits of Larry Auster:

1. Extremely vague, non-racial descriptors of the perpetrators (“men,” “young men,” “assailants,” etc.) despite numerous references to their being caught on video and arrested? Check!

2. You have to scroll down to 75% through the article to find any mention of race, and even then, it’s in the most neutral, non-judgmental terms (“tensions in the community between black residents and Jews”)? Check!

3. Passive voice (victims “were punched” or “was beaten”? How foolish of those Jews to run face-first into those disembodied fists just hanging in the air!) Check!

4. “Random” attacks? Check!

Anything else?
