It's not limited to milkshakes. Lets apply some symmetry, say that the hateful rhetoric from the left has fanned Islamic attacks [1], or is what caused two black teens pouring gasoline on a white 13-year old, saying "This is what you deserve. You get what you deserve, white boy." as they set him on fire [2].

To the police, the kid only claimed they said "this is what you get". The white boy part seems to have come up later.

Does "seems to have come up" mean he amended his statement after recovering from the fire damage to his lungs? I wasn't able to find any information on this.
