Trump's 'Chinese Virus' tweet helped lead to rise in racist anti-Asian Twitter content: Study

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.

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.
lol. except the shootings were not racially motivated!
 
gee I WONDER WHY -China feels free to call us "hypocrites" for calling out China's reprogramming of Uyghurs??
 
lol. except the shootings were not racially motivated!

I did not say anything about the shooting. Deplorables are obviously unaware of this, but anti Asian racism has been ubiquituous and increasing for the last 12 months.

'Kung Flu': Texas Ramen Eatery Covered in Racist Graffiti After Owner Opposed Lifting Mask Mandate

A Texas ramen restaurant was vandalized with racist graffiti on Sunday after its owner spoke out against Republican Governor Greg Abbott's recent decision to lift the state's coronavirus mask mandate.

Photos shared to Facebook showed racist graffiti in red ink on the windows of the restaurant, including the words, "No Mask," "Kung Flu," "Commie," "Hope U Die" and "Ramen Noodle Flu."

"Asian American lawmaker reveals racist voicemails she received following Trump’s Covid slurs"

Democratic congresswoman Grace Meng has revealed racist voicemails she has received over the past year that have blamed her and Asian-Americans for the coronavirus pandemic.

“I’m calling about the Karate Kid virus, or the kung flu virus or the whatever – it came from Asia. It’s not racist. It’s the truth. Filthy people,” one man said in a voicemail shared by Ms Meng.

While a woman in a separate voicemail told the lawmaker: “Hey, you look like a Chinese virus, you fat slob,” and added: “You look like a Wuhan, you ugly fat slob!”

The New York congresswoman then explained that the voicemails were a fraction of the abuse that Asian-Americans have faced during the pandemic.

Pretty early in rhe shooting investigation to be leaping to any conclusions

So you don't deny that Kung Flu and China Virus rhetoric is racist, and you acknowlege that anti asian racism has accelerated in the last 12 months.

No more racist than the Spanish Flu...

the shooter has said it was about his sex addiction -not "Asians"

i dont have an OutRage-O-Meter that goes off full tilt at the slightest whiff of something involving race=must be racist

I am always leery at the categorization of "hate crimes" like here where it WASN"T but that NARRATIVE
must be fed anyhow

You are taking a leap of faith to accept a mass murderer's word at face value.

Hardly anyone ever openly admits to being a racist.

There are racists on this forum who deny they are racists.

A full investigation by competent professionals will reveal the myriad of motivations for this murder spree.

you are familiar with the them "from the horses mouth?".. according to what i've heard he was "upset"
at his sex addiction -so ill go with that proximate cause unless proven otherwise

Do you find it odd that you are mightily working to show it MIGHT be racism,but the OP link JUMPED to that conclusions??

The idea of focusing on one person really indicates to me people don’t understand the scope of the mission. Terror is bigger than one person. He’s just a person who’s been marginalized. … I don’t know where he is

So you're lying by saying the shooting was racially motivated by Trump. Nothing new here...

Amazing how someone as sanctimonious as you on an anonymous message board posts something as stupid as this. The irony.
 
The shooter himself?? Yep, one cop tells all :palm:

The fact is you have no clue. An anti-Asian cop did set the floor and you jumped on. We really know very little about the kid or his motivation. The court will bring it out. PLAM PLAM

Fuck what that cop said. It had nothing to do with this asshole shooting massage parlor masseuses and patrons (2 of which were WHITE women!). Do try to keep up :rolleyes:
