At this time in our history, there is a critical need for actual racist incidents. They are few and far between.

Absolutely yes, as the supply has decreased the need has become more urgent and desperate.

White Guilt/White Saviorism is the foundational sacred belief of all Western liberals, from your idealistic college kids to your local politicians to almost our entire media, cultural and academic classes: and without any black/brown people to save, how are they going to be (publicly) save and defend them!? (And they will try to save them whether they like it or not.)

Black/brown pain is a luxury good for our age of conspicuous compassion—people are willing to pay top dollar for it!

Ah, but why do you need actual racist incidents when your stated goal is racial equity and restorative justice? Those prosecutorial concepts appear to create the ability to classify any incident involving a white person and a person of color (though the darker the better) as a racist incident justifying restorative justice.
