  I wish they’d classify investigations of racist groups based on race: “black separatist extremists” vs “white separatist extremists” for example, but that they’d open the investigations regardless of race. Tracking based on race would let outside observers keep them honest.

  I guess they’re doing the opposite: Biasing investigations, and failing to track the statistics that would make this obvious.

  (It sounds a lot like software metrics and bug tracking in corporate America, if I’m honest, except with worse repercussions.)
