Why Asian Americans are under attack

[hawaiian cane]

There are about 19 million Asians living in the United States and they have often been dubbed the Model Minority. What this essentially means is that people here in the United States see Asians as a good minority. They are overly educated, they go to school, they study hard, they have strong family bonds and they make decent money and have good jobs. But what it really means is in spite of the racism or any of the abuse they suffer while they are here, they dont say anything. They stay very quiet and keep to themselves. They turn the other cheek.... and they bare it. The crazy thing about these attacks is most of them have happened in the middle of the day. And they are against elderly Asians. It started off with an attack on a elderly Thai man who was walking in San Francisco and some Young kid came along and just threw him to the pavement. And he died....he eventually died from his injuries. Another guy in Brooklyn who threw a Chinese Woman to the ground and she was 68 years old. Ive have looked in the News and there is just more and more assaults on Asians, there are a bunch of them. A lot of these attacks are on video and its disturbing.
So why are these attacks happening and why are the numbers growing? We just spent the past 5 years with our leader, and former leader, who was such a xenophobe, using hateful rhetoric and abusive words and language, every single day against certain people. And his followers listen to everything he says. And they take it quite literally. So, he has created this incredibly divisive moment, where there is so much anger and so much hatred here.....and, it flows from the top down. So people are listening and responding to his rhetoric.
Secondly, because we didnt handle the Pandemic properly, we are still seeing Americans stricken with COVID-19. Well over 500,000 Americans lost their lives. People ended up without jobs and consequently had no source of income. There were also lockdowns and people were going stir crazy and the easiest thing to do, like we heard from #45 is to blame it on other people. So the Asian people living in this country have become the perfect scapegoat.
Lastly, and probably most importantly, the Asian communities have begun to stand up for their rights. They have started to speak out and fight back.
Unfortunately, a lot of this stuff is fairly new about what is happening and who the perps are. Lets hope and pray that Americans will evolve and grow and have open minds.

Fairly old news...not much recently in the news about asian bias. Really very little considering there are enough idiots in this country that would blame Asians for what the Chinese Communists may have allowed to happen.
I remember many years ago where Blacks in Harlem were attacking Korean vegetable stands and stores . It was actually going on in all five boroughs of N.Y.C.
It's many of the same idiots that hate all other groups. Nothing new here...old news.

Again contrary to the FAKE news attacks on Asians is NOT soaring. Might be up slightly. Your post psychoanalyzes the situation but the real reason is very simple. Criminals and scumbags attacked people who were Asian just as they do any other race. It's called crime nothing more.

New York, which has the highest number of Asian Americans in the country, accounted for nearly half the 2021 incidents, reporting 42 hate crimes through the first quarter — a 223% increase from 13 incidents during the first quarter of last year. The attacks on Asians living in New York have continued into April, with another 24 incidents reported in the first three weeks of the month.

In the latest incident, an unemployed 61-year-old Chinese immigrant collecting bottles in the Harlem neighborhood ended up in a coma last Friday after being severely beaten by an ex-felon on parole. The suspect was arrested this week

FILE - An Asian American New York City Police officer patrols in the Queens borough of New York, March 30, 2021. Police have stepped up patrols across the city in the wake of increased anti-Asian hate crimes.
New York appears to have had more attacks on Asians during the first quarter of 2021 than during any full year in recent memory, according to Levin.

Last week, New York City Police Commissioner Dermot Shea announced a new initiative to combat the anti-Asian violence, with plans to deploy teams of undercover officers of Asian descent "to prevent New Yorkers from becoming victims in the first place."

Anti-Asian hate crimes have been steadily rising in recent years, according to the FBI. But attacks spiked during the pandemic, with Asian American activists saying Trump's frequent references to the coronavirus as the "China virus" and "kung-flu" contributed to the hate crime spree.

While Trump has been out of office for more than three months and can no longer tweet about the "China virus," "the damage has already been done," said Stephanie Nguyen, executive director of Asian Resources Inc., a nonprofit.

"I can't erase what he said. None of us cannot hear what he said and block it out of us," Nguyen said.


Anti-Asian hate crime reported to police increased by 164% in the first quarter of 2021 from 2020 in these cities.

N.Y.C. has always had crimes against Asians. The numbers are probably distorted with hate crimes being mixed in with robberies.

Its not old news. We had a President, #45 who encouraged his base when he referred to Mexicans as rapists, murderers and drug dealers. Told Africans to "Go back to your huts." he did absolutely nothing with the clash in Charlottesville between Protesters, i.e., White Supremacists, KKK, Neo Nazis and extreme right wing groups vs counter protestors. His reply " There were good people on both sides.NO. White supremacists, Neo Nazis, KKK are not good people. The his type of rhetoric inspired those who stormed the Capital on 01/06. Our lawmakers, republicans well as democrats had their lives hanging in the balance. If African Americans had stormed the capital they wouldve been gunned down in a heart beat.

Dude you are like a broken freaking record spinning round and round and round. Problem is you are consistently wrong. Wrong facts, fake news, more BS. How old are you lib?

 

[hawaiian cane]

Doesnt make any difference how old I am. White supremacists are the nations greatest security threat. Just this past wednesday AG Merrick Garland and Homeland security chief Alejandro Mayorkas both appeared before the Senate Appropriations committee and agreed White Supremacists groups pose the most serious domestic threat to this country, reinforcing what analysts have long concluded about far right organizations. Garland stated at the top of the hearing " Domestic violent extremists pose an elevated threat in 2021, and in the FBI's view, the top domestic threat we face comes from racially and ethnically motivated violent extremists, specifically those who advocate for the superiority of the white race." So no BS, No fake news and no wrong facts. African Americans have suffered and experienced oppression and indignation for 350 plus years

You are young, naïve, and a sheep. Where are these White Supremacist groups? I'm not saying they don't exist but where are they and who are they killing? What city did they burn down and loot? Mayorkis the guy who thinks everything is just peachy down at the Border? I've seen this guy interviewed numerous times he sucks, he's a clown. The Politicians have a grip on you where you believe all you are told like a robot. Young ( I'd guess you are under 30) and gullible. NOTICED YOU DIDN"T COMMENT ON THE STATS I POSTED ABOVE?????HMMMMMM Lastly hawaiin cane 350 years of oppression and indignation? Wrong. Yes Blacks in America have a history in America with slavery and it's not pretty and the country feels the shame over that. In modern times nobody harms Black people more than other Black people. You talk about attacks on Asians but don't mention black on black crime which is #1 in the country. I am sorry to write that but I'm not PC. Pay attention..........

The discussion involves Asians. If we stick to the point, there are idiots out there that will blame Covid on every Asian they see. Idiots! There are a lot of them. Asian attacks were around for decades. That is why I refer to it as old news. Looking at the number of Asians in the U.S. ,compared to what can be purely identified as a racial attack, not a random robbery or some other crime, I think the numbers are low. Asian on Asian crime and Black on Asian crime used to be the bulk of the incidents. Asian on Asian crime was criminal syndicates for a lot of it. Not much going on.

Bro I put the current stats in a post above. Yes there are morons out there but generally these attacks don't have some lunatic screaming "you brought the virus here" while beating them and stealing a 6 pack.

Agreed...Hate crimes are determined to be a hate crime after a Police investigation. I'm just saying that the stats represent crimes against Asians while I have inferred that some of those crimes might have been non racial based crimes. It's a feeling,with no stats or proof to what I feel. Sort of like the Covid death stats where people had other diseases that killed them but if they had Covid it was listed as the cause of death. That's just me...

This has got to be a troll. Hawaii describes various attacks then says Trump is Xenophobic and followers listen to everything he says. He and everybody else knows the attacks were performed by black men. Now black men are all Trump supporters.

Going around and around....... Thats the way the ball is bouncing with Trumplicans insisting there was fraud in the 2020 election and backing off with DJT implying "this is wrong and we haev to show them. I'll be marching with you." Trumplicans keep repeating "FRAUD." It keeps going around and around.

The title of the thread is on Asian Americans and it was #45 who encouraged his base and gave them permission to take indecent liberties on Not only Asians but other minorities as well. There is still Gerry Mandering, Voter suppression against minorities. All Minorities should be inclusive

You're wrong .. African's have suffered oppression and indignation for over 1000 years .. in Africa .. where slave trading began with Africans kidnapping and selling Africans from remote villages to buyers in Africa and throughout Europe. Let's not pretend that Africans were living normal, healthy lives in Africa then all of a sudden were uprooted and exposed to poor treatment in "America".

 

[HJCane]

Despite his election defeat, President Donald Trump can boast a success that has intrigued pollsters - he was more popular with ethnic minority voters than in 2016.
Some might find this surprising given that his critics so accused him of racism and Islamophobia. Trump denies the charges and has accused Democrats of taking African Americans voters for granted.
The Republican president gained six percentage points among black men, and five percentage points among Hispanic women. It means some voters changed their minds, after either not voting or voting for another candidate in 2016.

To refresh your short term memory DJT encouraged misogyny, demagoguery, hate and fear mongering. He encouraged racism, fanned the flames.
Putting Japanese Americans in concentration camps was wrong but at the time I kind of feel the US govt had to do something. You may not know this but after a few hours after the attack on Pearl Harbor, a number of fishing vessels manned by Japanese Americans were straffed by US fighter planes as they were returning to Honolulu harbor. The reason behind that is US officials thought these fishing vessels were commiserating with the Japanese Imperial Navy. Most fishing vessels had radios. There were 2 waves of vessels. the 1st group made it in safely, this was before the decision was made to fire on the vessels.
Last but not least Im sure @cdwright40 does his research before posting or starting a thread.

Trump specifically said "Mexicans are drug dealers, rapists and murderers," also said "Africans go back to your huts." Even if he didnt make any reference to Asians at the time, they and other minorities became inclusive with his rhetoric.

The reason behind that is US officials thought these fishing vessels were commiserating with the Japanese Imperial Navy. Most fishing vessels had radios. There were 2 waves of vessels. the 1st group made it in safely, this was before the decision was made to fire on the vessels.
Last but not least Im sure @cdwright40 does his research before posting or starting a thread.

If you think he doesnt, take it up with him. As far as accepting opposing view points, thats something you dont do. I dont really care if you respect me or not. All your doing is trying to reinforce your talking points and you dont care about differences in opinions

That’s YOUR viewpoint. I respect differing opinions, not asinine untruthful statements that you make.
Only you would defend canesports most disrespected poster. Called out by the vast majority of the board, NOT just me as you allude to.
Thanks for proving my point!
Look in the mirror, the one that doesn't “accept opposing view points” is you!

Here's the thing about guys like @cdwright40 @hawaiian cane and others. They simply can not ever say that their Party nor any member or policy of their Party is wrong or they disagree with it. That's a robot. That's a parrot. That's a politicians dream come true. Numerous times I personally have said I disagree with Trump or a policy including dumb tweets (not all) name calling, saying dumb shyt, speaking about science and medicine when he is not a scientist nor doctor. Just some examples. It's not hard to be a free thinker. It makes for a better system. If a person like these 2 (and others) just agree with everything then they are just robots. That just bothers the crap out of me.
