Asian American Attacks
No idea why these things keep happening. Over 3,800 Asian American attacks reported in the past 365 days and it's only growing more and more with the Atlanta incident.
Jamie Dimon commented:
Our fight for fair treatment and equity is not for any one group — it’s for all. We condemn racism in any form and, with fierce determination, stand united to defend equity, diversity and inclusion for all communities.
It's saddening to see such events play out, especially as a first gen asian american myself. A few colleagues at Wells fargo mentioned to me that Asian Americans are considered "diverse" in the sense that there are programs for them. I floated the idea to a few friends at other banks and they said Asians don't get discriminated against. I think this idea has been around for too long, people think Asians aren't discriminated against, but people certainly look at me differently than white, black, or hispanic peers. The model minority myth is so prevalent and harms Asian Americans so much. Crazy to hear people have heard so little about Asian American discrimination, Vincent Chin and 1992 LA riots are just two major incidents that people may learn in history class. Asian Americans tend to be more politically silent but I feel like now is the time to start speaking up.
Personally also think the idea of someone telling me I'm not "diverse" because I'm Asian startles me a lot. Asia is such a big continent and apparently someone from Beijing is the same as someone from India to the US census.
Some people are just bigots and assholes. It's horrible, yet it keeps happening over and over again; Islamic-targeted violence post-9/11 and post-London bombings, Irish-targeted violence during The Troubles and South Italian-targeted violence during Italy's intense mafia years in the 70s and 80s. It's really depressing knowing nothing will be done to change this.
Nothing done to change this? What does that even mean? Is violence at all-time highs? Amazing that things are so bad in Europe and North America, people can’t stop coming.
Violence against Asians is overwhelmingly committed by one group in America, but Asian Americans are afraid to even acknowledge or talk about this publicly. When they do, maybe something will change.
A white supremacist killed 8 Asian-Americans yesterday.
Literally proved Associate 3’s point with your peanut brain take. 2 white people were killed in that attack, but hey facts don’t mean anything, and while heinous, it’s come out that it was specifically not racially motivated.
Don’t let stats get in the way of your low brow narrative though. Again, when Asians stand up against the group that overwhelmingly and disproportionately commits crime against all races, including Asians, maybe that’s when this conversation can be taken seriously.

Isnt it weird that when the Virginia Tech shooter goes and murders dozens of white people, almost exclusively white I might add given the rooms he targeted, that no one claims it was Asian American supremacy or anything else? Then a white guy kills several people including two whites and a Hispanic, but it is white supremacist? Can you explain to me how this works?
You literally proved my point in your moronic comment.
So white?
The latest attack was by a white guy targeting asian operated business and killing 8 people.
He killed two whites and an Hispanic as well. Do you have any evidence he targeted Asians specifically rather than massage parlors? Because one of those assumptions would have been predictive and the other not.
How can people like you be so intellectually dishonest or, even worse, ignorant?
the comments above me are so confusing? Can someone clarify
What you see above is people trying to ignore the killings of 6 asian americans just because 2 people also got killed who were white LOL.
6 Asian and 2 white prostitutes were killed by a mentally ill religious fundamentalist and self admitted sex-addict with a history of sex-addiction therapy who said he was driven to target sex workers because he blamed them for his failure to live up to his Christian ideology. It's being picked up by the media as a hate crime because it involves a white perp, unlike the year long spike we've seen of mostly black on asian violence.
If you're going to portray it as a hate crime, it's misogyny not racism against Asians.
Poor treatment of minorities, including Asians is not new but it has certainly been increasing. Why have Asians been targeted? This is not rocket science. When you blame China for COVID on a regular basis, some frustrated people with biases are going to act on it.
COVID is 100% China's fault and China should be blamed for COVID.
Leaders blaming China for COVID-19 has consequences, and violence against Asian Americans is one of them.
You're acting as if no major outbreaks have occured in the states and traveled elsewhere.
It is not inappropriate to blame a type of person in this case because crimes committed by white supremacists have been increasing
Crimes committed by black people have been increasing at a (much, much) higher clip. That's why every city has seen an extraordinary increase in murder rates post-BLM.

There's no such thing as a "model minority myth". That's liberal bullshit that never made sense. Only liberals use that phrase. What people WILL say is that Asians have outsized levels of achievement, a culture focused on education, higher incomes, lower rates of drug abuse, lower rates of out of wedlock birth, lower rates of violent crime.
The last point is important. Every group BUT Asians are primarily murdered by people of their own race, usually by wide margins. Asian murder rates are so low, and they often live near a group with murder rates so high, that they're the only group murdered most often by members of another racial group. But because some incel white guy shot a mixed-race group of brothel workers, our dihonest press is now going to blame whites for attacks on Asian people.
Serious question to every Asian person here buying this bullshit narrative - you're forced to stroll through a neighborhood alone and on foot. You can pick a white neighborhood or a black one. Which are you choosing?
.
I see a lot of privileged white idiots in here.
For the record, I’m white myself.
So speak up. What's your argument? What set of facts are people missing in this topic? I assume you have some sort of logic to back up your virtue signaling?
mf like u should just fuck off
disgusting
yup the topic here is about attacks on Asians yet almost everyone wants to deflect and blame another minority group instead of acknowledging they are a part of the broader problem here. And to think that violence against Asians is justified because of China lmao
I wish you hated yourself enough not to post at all.
Yeah, no shit. No minority believes your white privilege, race theory nonsense.
yea well no one talks about hatred against muslims, jews, or latinos - we just eat shit, no headlines
this is subconscious programming to distract americans from holding china accountable
No one has say bad things about Muslims, Jews or Latinos? There are far more headlines about Muslims, Jews, and Latinos being treated badly compared to Asians. I am not sure why but my guess would be that Asians may not assimilate as much as some other groups and they are also kind of quiet about the discrimination. If there is an anti Semitic incident, Jews will definitively not be quiet about it.
based on what u previously said, any basically educated person can't take u seriously
That's because unlike most of those groups, Asians don't feel the need to bitch and moan for victim points from the progressives. They just buckle down and work, which is why they're the most successful racial group in terms of financial outcomes in the entire country. Victim mentality begets victim treatment, with American blacks as the epitome of this example when you just compare them to African immigrants.
Why is this topic already debumped?

^^ if anything I feel like this should be megabumped
