Anti-Asian Hate Crimes

I'm pretty sure you can elect to not be a redneck. I don't think you can elect to not be Asian, Black, et cetera.

Also, I don't believe that China is any more of a threat to the world than the U.S. is.

So, you're saying China is a significant threat...:)

I asked a genuine question.

At the end of the day we’ll each choose to do and say what we want.

There’s just an irony in a thread centered around “Anti Asian” Hate and trying to have a mature discussion when someone presenting the ignorance towards Asians case begins by using an ignorant term for another ethnic group.

People conflate education (or lack thereof) as one of THE determinants in racial bias. This isn't the case as presented to us. On the subject, an interesting case study:

You should ask the Uyghurs about that. Or the people of Hong Kong

These are crimes against Asian Americans based on their race. If you can not see the pattern then I request that you look closer.
 
My friend is now freaking out over the assaults as she is Asian and a woman, but she don't take no shit from people. She asked about carrying a knife for defense and I told her it's a bad idea and without training, it can be taken away and used on you.

Is there a practical form of defensive tool people actually recommend for the untrained?

I got my wife and daughters these. The trick is to not let them know you have it until you're putting them on the ground. It comes with a lanyard with a pin that when removed disables it.

Ask her if she'd rather run away or risk being beaten/killed by trying to fight back.

Camo pink! They won't see it coming.
 
I knew a gal that worked out religiously, took some form of martial arts training, and was generally a take-no-shit kinda girl. She fully believed she could take a dude in a real live street fight.
We're at the bar one weekend and she's talking to a mutual friend about whatever, and the subject of male-vs-female fisticuffs came up and she was arguing that she'd be able to take most guys. Dude says "Tell ya what, I'll bet you fifty bucks I can take your best punch to the face." Normally she isn't the type to take that challenge but she had been drinking the perfect amount to accept.

She stands up, he gets ready, and she unleashes a damn decent punch to his jaw. Nice form, good follow-through, finished in a ready stance. You could tell she'd had training.
Dude's head goes to the side a little and he says "Told you I could take it" and I could see the disappointment wash over her as she realized that she was wrong. Like, her entire persona was built on being tougher than most dudes and a random sized guy with no real fight experience beyond backing up his loud mouth took her best shot and finished his beer.



Run away.
 
If only there was a way for women to defend themselves effectively against anyone...:rolleyes
