Eight people were killed in a series of shootings at massage parlors in the Atlanta area on Tuesday, including six Asian women, raising concerns that the crimes were racially motivated. While police are still investigating a connection and motivation, the attacks shook the Asian American and Pacific Islander community, which has been targeted in a surge of hate crimes.
Can you imagine fighting WWII and being told it was xenophobic and racist to want to fight the Japanese who bombed us, the Germans and the Italians.
Reports of crimes against Asians are rising in some cities. Police are working to figure out why.

In the last several months, one district in the city of 495,000 recorded a drop in strong-arm robberies with Asian victims, while another saw an increase, Detective Eddie Macaulay, a Sacramento Police Department spokesman, said in a Nov. 13 phone interview.
For the spike in robberies, one thing was clear — people of Asian descent were the target, according to Macaulay.

Macaulay said over an almost year period, more than 50 people have been arrested so far in connection with robberies of Asians, with some incidents dating back months before the recent increase.
What they don't tell you is that this has been going on for years and the 'hate crimes' against 'Asians' are perpetrated mostly by blacks.

These senseless acts of anti-Asian violence have finally garnered the national attention they deserve, but they have also invoked anti-Black sentiment and reignited the trope of Black-Asian conflict. Because some of the video-taped perpetrators appear to have been Black, some observers immediately reduced anti-Asian violence to Black-Asian conflict. This is not the first time that the trope has been weaponized. Black-Asian conflict—and Black-Korean conflict more specifically—became the popular frame of the LA riots in 1992.
Nobody talked about Black on Asian crime over the last decade or more because, well, it was BLACK on Asian crime. But now that we have Trump and the 'rona to blame, the Chinese masters have determined to make an issue out of it.
Ransomnote, you are absolutely right. Now any criticism of China or the Chinafication of America can safely be called racism, xenophobia, and all manner of bad stuff, like white people.
Just like how any criticism of Islam or Raggedy aggression was attributed to racist backlash against 9-11.
The derps have a playbook and they keep running the same plays over and over. Like student body left. We are morphing from ORANGE MAN BAD to WHITE MAN BAD.
Get used to it, my fellow crack ass crackas.
Here is a dramatic illustration of the reality of life.

While Identity politics is bread and butter to the gang running America, for sure, it’s a certainty they need some GUN events to be happening and we’ve been expecting it.
Gang Congress has been “surge” talking for our guns, in both chambers for weeks.
Fishy how somebody is blowing up Syria and no gang members seem to notice, Administrators Biden-Harris busy flying back and forth to their respective homes, and not a peep about Syria, or anything else, but the Flu of course.
