Anti-Asian racism has been overlooked for a long time. It’s now reached a boiling point.

For a long time, anti-Asian racism has been overlooked — but this past year, a wave of hate incidents and a devastating series of shootings in Georgia have made it much tougher to ignore.

To provide some context for the range of discrimination that’s been experienced — and show what Asian Americans have been facing as they walk down the street or make a quick stop at the grocery store in towns and cities across America — here are some accounts that have been reported to Stop AAPI Hate, in people’s own words.


Author forgot one incident:

The Virginia Tech shooting was a school shooting that occurred on April 16, 2007, at two buildings, West Ambler Johnston Hall and Norris Hall, on the campus of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, in Blacksburg, Virginia, United States. Seung-Hui Cho, an undergraduate student at the university and a U.S. resident of South Korean descent, killed thirty-two people and wounded seventeen others with two semi-automatic pistols.

“series of shootings in Georgia”

Spin, much?

Make it seem like Atlanta has had a whole spate of “shootings” of yellows recently, by multiple perps.

Never mind IT’S NOT RACISM!

Neither am I convinced either there is a HUGE amount of anti-yellow racist crime recently, nor that it is RACIST - as opposed to incidental.

How about “keep yellows out” of college because they have too many?

LOL NOT ONCE are blacks mentioned as doing anything mean. (And they get to be capitalized - no, just no.)

But they make sure to mention whites when they can.

Please note how most of these “stories” are mere mocking.

I’m sick of trumping up being made fun of as some kind of horrible assault.

I was made fun of mercilessly as a kid. For being “ugly”. It was VERY personal, BTW, and not simply being part of some group. I was occasionally threatened with beating just for being ugly, but never actually physically attacked.

Where is my reparation?

It’s reached a boiling point? Only among leftists.

I'm glad someone agrees with me on the incorrectness of capitalizing adjectives in English unless they are directly related to a proper noun (e.g. Asian refers to one from Asia). Grammar Nazi mode off.

Translation- Trump did a bit too well with Asians so the victim class machine has to be cranked up in high gear to keep them on the Democrat plantation.

Vox really tries to play fast and loose with some facts (they have to, in order to keep a certain narrative going).

I think that it's funny that Miss "complain about everything that isn't totally Leftist and anti-Asian racism" didn't notice that in her photograph of the pro-Trump demonstrators standing on the Capitol steps, one of the demonstrators is waving the South Vietnamese flag.

Some racist!

This is all horse crap.

Go to the FBI UCR (Uniform Crime Reporting) website, and you can look up statistics on violent crime and break it down by victim race and perpetrator race.

Is violent crime against Asians going up? Sure.

But you know what? IT IS GOING UP AGAINST EVERYONE, not just Asians.

This is just their attempting to develop another victim class on the Left, because that is their life-blood.

Without victimhood, the Left has nothing. So they have to continually create new victims, since victimhood is eventually cannibalistic by nature. The victims begin to be set upon each other.

This “epidemic of Asian violence” is all orchestrated by the Left. It is a poisonous ideology.

I noticed that the only race of a perp mentioned was a white guy in San Francisco, and then a story from 1982 about an Oriental being killed by two white autoworkers. Not a single reference to the countless attacks, rapes, or murders of “Asians” by blacks going back decades.

Funny how they don’t mention in the teenage murderers in ATL or that the overwhelming number of perps are black.

The junta has decided to try to bring Asians into the victim fold and that’s the whole story. You could pick left handed people as the topic of the day and trumpet every lefty crime victim for a few weeks and it would seem like whitey was in an anti-lefty jihad.

The anti Asian thing is pure fake news at its finest.

Vox is propaganda.

I mean, they all are, but Vox more so.

Random violence or robbery against protected group = Racism.
Add amplifiers like "trend", "systemic" or "white supremacy" when possible.
Random violence against whites - ho hum.

Bullsh*t! This is just a propaganda “surge” to get Asians onto the Democrat plantation, since they have historically been conservative oriented.
