Reply #16: Its not just the Duke case, its every case where rape or discrimination is falsely charged

that undermines the valid ones. There have been numerous high profile ones including Tawana Brawley and Kerri Dunn. Bring up a racism/hate crime or rape case, and guaranteed someone will snigger and mention those cases or one like it, and now the Duke case.

Rape and racism clearly continue to exist, but every time patently false charges are brought, it makes the real ones that much harder to be taken seriously.
