I thought you could hear the dog whistle? Is that not the case?
See the irony of this "dog whistle" business is that it's supposed to be something said with subversive racist undertones only intended to be understood by fellow racists. But why is it so easily identifiable by supposed non-racists? Not a very good dog whistle if you ask me.
But your link appears to make the case that because there are no reliable statistics to support attacks on white farmers and the fact that the crime rates in South Africa have (also?) increased -- then it must not be happening and is just white nationalist propaganda. Not very convincing if you ask me. To use another "dog whistle", it would be like saying because there were a lot of people being killed in WWII Europe and there weren't reliable statistics at the time, the Holocaust must not have happened.
I think there's a canyon between "it didn't happen" and "it's been exagerrated". And a provide a relevant Wikipedia article which touches on this:
