Who's really committing this sudden spate of anti-Asian hate crimes? Well, let's look at some stats

Robert Long in Atlanta must have been motivated by racial hatred because...well, just because — because he is white!  And a Christian!  Law enforcement, including the FBI, cannot find proof that it was a hate crime, but it must have been!

Well, let's look at some facts.

Blacks commit a far higher proportion of hate crimes against Asians than do whites.  According to the FBI, in 2019, there were 205 hate crimes against Asians, of which 46% were committed by whites and 15% by blacks (for some reason, the Department of Justice, the FBI's parent organization, says 52.5% were committed by whites and 23.9% by blacks in 2019).

In either case, using either the FBI or the DoJ statistics, since whites are 73% of the U.S. population and blacks 12.7%, whites are greatly underrepresented among the perpetrators of anti-Asian hate crimes (unless there is a vast number of black white supremacists that have so far escaped detection).

The FBI details the types of crimes that constitute hate crimes (see 5 and 6).  Note that that the three most common are "destruction/damage/vandalism, intimidation, and simple assault."  According to the DoJ, the breakdown in 2019 was as follows:

In short, it is safe to say that the vast majority of the 205 hate crimes against Asians were not fatal.  Since there are 17.2 million Asian-Americans, that's around 1.2 hate crimes per 100,000.  I know, one is too many, but I would hardly call it an epidemic.

For comparison, 120 people were struck by lightning in 2019, 20 of them fatally, but 89% of fatalities are whites and 85% are males.  Disproportionate impact!  We must do all we can to increase the numbers of women and minorities getting struck by lightning!  Equity!  Equity!

This last killing spree was NOT aimed at Asians...It was aimed at Massage Parlors...aka...Prostitution...and this guy’s weakness. His hate was of himself and lack of control.

THOMAS LIFSON OBSERVES:

The racial hate-mongers have been on a campaign to defund police, let criminals out of jail, and lessen sentences and allow cash-free bail based on the contention that Blacks are unfairly (disproportionately) arrested and convicted of crimes.  District attorneys like George Gascon and Chesa Boudin, elected with Soros money, have been doing their utmost to free or not prosecute criminals based on this racialist ideology.  That's why a bill was introduced in California that would reclassify violent robbery as a misdemeanor, not a felony, if not deadly weapon was involved, or if "grave bodily harm" was not inflicted.  This bill has raised alarms among Asians, including:

The Asian American Prosecutors Association issued a statement voicing their concerns over the bill, "vehemently" opposing it. They cited a number of ABC7 News stories including one about three men attacking and robbing an older Asian man along the Nob Hill, Chinatown border in San Francisco. The group believes with the passing of SB82 this case would serve as a prime example of justice not being served since the older man seen on surveillance video did not suffer serious physical injuries and a deadly weapon was not used.

[[ccording to the FBI, in 2019, there were 205 hate crimes against Asians, ]]

How many hate crimes were against Jews? Against whites? Against Irish?

I don’t accept the premise of a “sudden spate”.

Sudden spate of reported and hyped.

Next look for a “sudden spate” against Muslims.

Even these stats are bogus because black violence is rarely classified as a hate crime even when it’s manifestly clear that it is, just like Muslim terrorism is always “we don’t know the motive” when they’re screaming alla akbar.

Thanx for that... in today’s climate, not sure 2019 stats re: Asians are relative?

>>46% were committed by whites and 15% by blacks<<

scratching my head, a huge block - 39% missing

looking a little deeper up the cow’s butt

From DOJ
Racial/ethnicity/ancestry bias

In 2019 - 4.4 percent were victims of anti-Asian bias.

The more minority groups whine to the press the more they make themselves a target of all the nutcases and angry people sitting out there just wanting a target to go after to unload their rage.

I frame it this way, it’s not that he hated Asian women, it’s that he liked them too much and in the wrong way.

100% of Ivy League schools discriminate against Asians, like the self described west coast schools too. Why is that not a topic of conversation?

Blacks commit a far higher proportion of hate crimes against Asians than do whites.

Guess why the media seldom shows the footage of it but will show every bit of footage of a white person doing it.
Numbers are of no use to them it’s all about keeping the racism agenda going.

What I was getting at, is that for example, by the way the FBI keeps records, if a Hispanic shoots someone he is white, but if he is shot by someone he is Hispanic.
