    Umm...did I miss the memo about hating Asians? When did all this “stop hating on Asians” thing happen? I didn’t know we were hating Asians, I’m always the last know.

    What do the FBI stats say about racial violence this year as compared to the years past? Over 8% of the locality in which I work is Asian, yet I cannot ever remember working an assault of a person of Asian descent, let alone a hate crime toward one. That is like over 40K persons of Asian descent.

    Violent crimes against Asians are much higher in the past couple of years.

    What the Media wants you to think is that it's due to race. The real reason is violent crime, especially in urban areas, is up exponentially. Asians tend to live in urban areas. Asians are also seen as easy targets by a certain criminal element. It's not due to hate per se; it's about crimes of proximity and opportunity. White people by and large, don't live in urban areas. Especially older white people. Asians do...especially older Asians. If I had to guess, elderly Asians are about the least likely demographic to conceal carry, permitted or otherwise. They are likely to be immigrants and very often to be illegal immigrants. So they are legally and culturally prone to be non-confrontational to avoid attention. All of these add up to being likely victims. I can tell you that if I was a strong arm robber, I would pick Chinatown as my playground. Not because I hate Asians, but because I hate being shot.

    It is also a completely predictable consequence of non-prosecution policies in large cities of "low level" crimes like robbery, larceny, and battery.

    We cannot even discuss the main perps of Asian or black crime victims in America without getting censured/cancelled. We live in an age where Jacob Blake is presented as Emmett Till.
