After 9-11 crimes against Middle-Easterners & and Indians (!) increased. I don’t sanction the idea of Hate crimes in any way, but it’s true that some crimes are committed just because of race, ethnicity or religions. There are people out there who are unhinged or easily swayed and don’t need much pushing to make them react violently, for myriad reasons. So, I can believe that there could be an increase of racially motivated attacks because in a nation of 330 million there may be a few hundred or thousand people who lash out. It would be interesting to know who is doing the attacks, but most violence against Asians is intra-ethnic or committed by another minority group.
This shooting seems to a simple case of a sex pervert killing hookers, which is like a drug dealer getting killed by rivals. Both black market occupations have a high murder rate. Strange how femininists have not used this as a “sex worker’s” issue but I guess race comes before sex on the intersection scale of wokedom.
In agreement.
