Look, I have nothing but respect for Chinese-Americans and Asian-Americans in general. I read recently that Indian-Americans are the wealthiest ethnic group in America, with Chinese-Americans right up there as well. They do things the right way - emphasize family, hard work and education over everything else. It would be a pity if they get sucked into playing the victimology game - they don't need it. A few isolated incidents in NYC don't mean there's any systemic problem of racism against Asian-Americans - stop the nonsense.

Here’s an idea,call it the Hillary virus or the Democrat virus

In my experience in San Francisco, the perpetrator would likely be a spaced-out, meth head, homeless guy, if it happened at all. Maybe they should clean up that problem instead of passing this off as societal racism.

Where I live no one will go eat at a Chinese restaurant but have not heard of this happening.

Gee, I wonder if the Times had this sort of concern for the people in China that tried to raise the alarm bells over this virus that good while earlier and were very brutally silenced. Nope. Their lives don't matter. Wrong color, you know.

It’s not white people doing the attacks. Every video I have seen is missing white people

same panty-wetting and hand-wringing crap we heard from the left about muslims being targeted after 9/11
different crisis.....same sh** from the collective leftist piehole
To: AppyPappy
But White people have to be the instigators....it's in our genes and natures dontyaknow...
Ironic that nearly all of such cases are missing the real culprits (White People)...even though we're the worst.

I am working right now, and can’t look, but you are right... i want PROOF.
To: RasterMaster
I don’t know that is was staged by the old man...it might have been a planned ambush by those who watched the old man’s habits so they waited until the old man came thru again...and you can tell this because the camera was ready and every one was out by their cars or driveways...

Hogwash. Fake news. The Slimes trying to create a new victim group.

It was called China virus not Chinese virus.
China is a LOCATION not a race of people.

If this did happen (big if) it was likely perpetrated by one of the drunk, stoned and/or insane homeless vagabonds that infest San Franciscos streets.

I don’t think those vagabonds care about what President Trump said about virus...I think they would act the same way even if President never mentioned “Chinese virus”...
