Agreed, that's the disgusting thing.

The fact that there wasn't any Good Samaritan to step up against that.

It's weird that the media is not mentioning the race of those white suspects. Just no mention at all.

Almost like they're trying to preserve a specific narrative.

Could this possibly be the "Systemic Racism" narrative as it applies to Asians? :later
 
What does it say about people who take a thread about Covid based crime against Asians and try to paint its as just a Black on Asian problem?

Clearly they are being attacked by people of all colors based on a narrative that the Chinese are responsible for Covid in the US.

Idiots are then taking that to mean all Asians, even those from other Countries and many who have never been to China let alone have relatives there.

If you subscribe to the mainstream narrative it isn't purely Covid 19 as to why Asians are targeted. Asians being targeted is due to "White Supremacy" as well as "Systemic Racism" according to the mainstream narrative.

Lastly... Is it painting a narrative if someone links the current news reports as they're posted?

Or...

Could it actually be that while Asians have been attacked by people from a variety of demographics, that the 'Plurality of Attacks' come from one specific demographic?

No mention of that from the most recent stories from PBS and NYT.

So I'm not sure why you seem to relish only linking stories of Black on Asian crime.

The Atlanta shooter was indeed White but the latest NYT article I found about it does not mention White Supremacy which you seem overly sensitive/defensive about.

It was the FBI that said this:

FBI Director Christopher Wray says there's no question violent white supremacy is behind most of domestic terror attacks in the U.S.

You seem really fixated on elevating tensions between Asian and Black social groups.

I'll ask again: why?

Because white hate on <any color> makes modern day news. While Black/Brown hate on asians is/was just every day life to many asians in America.

from everything I've heard (including from our members here), that hate flows in both directions.

This is from my perspective as a privileged white dude, but there's zero benefit to be had when minority groups are trying to drag each other down while they're both being marginalized by society. NSR500 is just propagating more of that same hate.

HATE might flow in both directions, but VIOLENT ASSAULTS are mostly coming from one direction.

https://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/cv18.pdf (and those numbers are 3 years old, I surmise it's only gotten a lot worse).

Or is it just too hard for a priveleged white dude to understand that blacks are beating on asians at a far more disproportionate number?

I don't know how the fuck else to phrase it.

I absolutely understand that.

I just don't understand the positive yields of continuing to stoke the hate in either direction, and I asked NSR to explain what they believe them to be.

I believe NSR has been pointing to the over use of "white supremacy" as misreporting, and linking to articles with victims and attackers. I also believe NSR and Scorp to be of the affected (attacked) group, from my reading between the lines.
 
i'm not commenting on the race of the attackers but in my opinion, extra charges should be levied for attacks from behind. Chicken-shit a-holes.
