No. It's your claim. Show me that hate crimes against Asian Americans are not covered because they're committed by non-whites.

show me besides this attack which was not racially motivated, and that woman in nyc yelling from a cab, show me a few of the 3800 incidents. Why hide from the truth as ugly or as pretty as it may be? blaming black men attacking asians on white d00ds doesn't solve the problem does it?

I think it is currently the media propounding an idea that is unsupported by evidence, then when any attack happens they get to further push a narrative regardless of the motivation of the killer.

So despite what you wrote earlier about your Asian relatives/friends/family experiencing bigotry, you don't think the rhetoric that you've been circulating and not speaking out against has nothing to do with what is happening to your supposed family and friends of Asian descent?

What narrative do you think they're pushing here?

That calling it "The China virus", and blaming China for it, and saying China created it, are the driving factors of anti-Asian bigotry your personal friends and family are experiencing?

This question goes out to anyone willing to answer, because Damo doesn't seem to want to answer it.

Does the NFA (National Firearm Act) which puts very strict limits on the ownership of fully automatic firearms count as "INFRINGEMENT" per the second amendment? Why or why not?

Quite tragic.

Perhaps if the police weren't beaten into submission, and were a proactive department searching out problems, this could have been aborted.
 
Meanwhile, places like Chicago dwarf these murder figures. It's not a matter of minority victims, it's a matter of making political hay, as it has always been.

Trump used hate to fuel his popularity. It's not unusual for demagogues to use hatred against a minority as scapegoats. It's an old tactic.

https://abcnews.go.com/Health/trumps-chinese-virus-tweet-helped-lead-rise-racist/story?id=76530148
A new study suggests that former President Donald Trump's inflammatory rhetoric around the coronavirus, which is believed to have originated in China, helped spark anti-Asian Twitter content and "likely perpetuated racist attitudes."

The Asian American community has experienced a striking rise in incidents of hate since the onset of COVID-19, according to officials and advocates, and critics say the former president's repeated use of "China Virus" and other terms helped fuel an environment of hatred.

"Anti-Asian sentiment depicted in the tweets containing the term 'Chinese Virus' likely perpetuated racist attitudes and parallels the anti-Asian hate crimes that have occurred since," said Dr. Yulin Hswen, an assistant professor of epidemiology at UC, San Francisco and the study's lead author.

The results, published in the American Journal of Public Health, come in the wake of a string of attacks on Asian communities in the U.S., including a series of shootings in Georgia that left six women of Asian descent dead.

The study indicated a difference in anti-Asian sentiment when using neutral hashtags such as #COVID-19 versus racist hashtags like #Chinesevirus -- 20% of the hashtags associated with #COVID-19 demonstrated anti-Asian sentiment, compared to 50% of hashtags with #Chinesevirus.

Huh.

So maybe all those folks calling COVID "The China Virus", or saying it was China who created it, or saying it was China who lied about, or saying it is China's fault, are probably having a negative effect on your Asian relatives, do you think?

You mean the mainstream media before somebody decided to blame that on Trump specifically?

I think it is currently the media propounding an idea that is unsupported by evidence, then when any attack happens they get to further push a narrative regardless of the motivation of the killer.

Asians in America had absolutely nothing to do with the Trump virus. How people can hate and attack Asians for nothing is difficult to understand. It seems that are angry and searching for a target and when Trump gave them one, they went into action. As usual, It is about the followers. They cannot think well.

I pretty much blame any folks for pushing a narrative rather than trying to learn the truth first. I will always, and I mean always, wait to learn the why of it before I simply jump to a conclusion like this.

It’s not rocket science to make the correlation between trump’s hate speech and violent reaction from his sheeple, especially given the events of January 6, 2020, a day of infamy that will forever written into American history.

It would be helpful if the media didn’t racialize this incident. The perp himself said it had nothing to do with race.

So hate crimes should be determined by what the murderer says, who knows that declaring his crimes as hate crimes carries harsher penalties?

"We watched Aaron grow up and accepted him into church membership when he made his own profession of faith in Jesus Christ," the Crabapple First Baptist Church said in a statement.

The lengthy statement from the embattled church came after Long, 21, who is charged with eight counts of murder, told investigators he had a sex addiction and targeted the Atlanta-area spas and the mostly-Asian women who worked there on Tuesday because there were a "temptation for him that he wanted to eliminate."

That alone SCREAMS that any determination of his mindless crimes cannot and should not be based on anything that comes out of his mouth. His claim that he could prevent his addiction by murdering 8 people he didn’t know speaks to his attempt to invent sympathy for the murders. Poor boy was only trying to help a society filled with lust .. by killing innocent people he didn’t know .. who just happened to be mostly Asian, Stupid.

Thanks, Guno. It doesn't surprise me that some Religious Quack has a problem with being a 'sexual person' and that he believes it's a 'sex addiction'. I'm guessing he's NOT married and DOESN'T have a girlfriend. They said he's visited these places before. So, through his eyes, he views these places as 'Temptations'.
Killing people at these places, is killing his 'Demons'. Why no one wants to call this guy a Religious Quack is surprising to me. (maybe the Media wants to use this Event as an opportunity to highlight 'Asian Hate Crimes'?)

If you want to claim that the hate crime designation was a bad idea, for several reasons, you’ll get no argument from me lol.

So, the dude gets charged with a hate crime even in absence of evidence for it? How screwed up is that?
