In Germany a new category of “rape, sexual coercion and sexual assault in especially serious cases including resulting in death” was introduced in June 2016, making it hard to measure the effect of the migrant influx. Even so, in 2017 and 2018, more than a third of the suspects in the new category were non-Germans. For all sexual-abuse cases, the share of non-German suspects rose from 15% in 2014 to 23% in 2016, 2017 and 2018, and 21% in 2019.

“Non-German” is a broad category. In Germany’s crime statistics, the term zuwanderer, or “newcomers,” was used until 2016 to identify suspects who were asylum applicants, failed asylum seekers and illegal residents. This definition was expanded in 2017 to include successful asylum seekers. From 2017 to 2019, zuwanderer accounted for between 10% and 12% of sex-crime suspects, and around 16% of suspects for rape, sexual coercion and sexual assault in especially serious cases. It is unlikely that zuwanderer accounted for much more than 2% of the German population.

What specifically are you referring to?

Of course the ones promoting CRT were corporate-funded think tanks and journalists on mainstream media outlets, not conservatives. That some conservative figure decided to tap into CRT as a political issue after the fact doesn't mean that he was the one who originally came up with CRT (that was left-wing ideologues in academia) nor the one who originally pushed it into the mainstream of the political discourse. It is also not the fault of conservatives that CRT's core tenets started increasingly seeping into curricula. Similarly, the widespread unease about concepts like CRT, BLM, defund the police and those things wasn't created by some evil right-wing mastermind out of thin air. The right-wing political strategist or journalist that you seem to be referring to only used feelings and energy which already existed.

It's always the same with liberals: first, they promote a toxic, divisive agenda (like e.g. encouraging school children to view society through an oppressor-oppressed lens), then they brand anyone who's pushing back against this agenda as racist/sexist/classist or as an uneducated propaganda victim.

Also, let's not pretend like Democrats and their allies didn't exploit the George Floyd protests for political gain. Their reaction, as well as the one-sided and sensational coverage by their allies in the MSM, deliberately stoked the flames of racial tension to drive black turnout and to accelerate the trend of upscale white suburbanites away from Trump/the GOP.

99% of right wingers found out what CRT was, and that it was an "issue", from fox news or another right winged outlet.

This has only sped up the timeline of the backlash, not the fact that this backlash was coming. CRT and adjacent teachings are increasingly seeping into the corporate world, curricula and political coverage. Are we seriously to believe that conservatives would have been fine with workplace seminars titled "all white people are racist", with race-segregated college events or with their kids being subjected to "educational discrimination experiments"?

I would even go further: this stuff was already an issue for many, but they couldn't put a name to this theory/ideology/agenda, which is also why the reaction was so strong once right-wing media named and singled out CRT.

There was no backlash coming. The backlash was entirely fabricated by spreading blatant lies about how CRT teaches white kids they are inferior for being white. Fabrications that you ate up without a second thought and continue to eat up to this very day despite multiple corrections. You are literally still parroting talking points that you've been corrected on by a half a dozen different users.

Oh look, we devolved back into the same conversation again, because you refused to take correction again, because you are for some reason fundamentally opposed to updating your views.
