People of the wrong color: Media won't remember Yao Pan Ma's name - The 61-year old Chinese man who was brutally attacked in East Harlem doesn't check the right boxes for media sympathy

Have you ever heard of Yao Pan Ma? Probably not, at least not by name. Yao Pan Ma is the 61-year old Chinese man who was brutally attacked in East Harlem on April 23. This senseless crime made the news in the New York newspapers but not that much nationally.

This incident came about as Yao Pan Ma was pushing a shopping cart along Third Avenue and East 125th Street. Weeks before, he had been laid off at as a dishwasher at a Chinese restaurant in Lower Manhattan due to the pandemic. He was out collecting discarded cans to earn a little money for his family. That's when a black thug came up from behind, knocked Yao Pan Ma to the ground, and proceeded to kick him in the head six times. The Asian is now in a coma and on a ventilator. His wife is uncertain if he'll ever come out of it. To get an idea of the violence inflicted on Yao Pan Ma, here is a photo of him in his New York hospital bed.

Jarrod Powell, age 49, has been arrested and charged with attempted murder and a hate crime. This attack was completely senseless. The motive wasn't robbery. The assailant did it just for the joy of hurting someone smaller and weaker than himself. And as police charge, the attack was also because the victim was Chinese. Such attacks by blacks on Asians is attributed to the hobgoblin called "white supremacy" by the liberal media. But Asians and anyone with a lick of common sense know better.

There are two contrasts of this horrid story need to be highlighted.

Yao Pan Ma is just one example of WHY Asians tend to eventually do well in America compared to other ethnic groups. The media doesn’t want to highlight this though.

The man was out trying to scrap together a few dollars to support his family. Although not much money can be earned collecting aluminum cans, he was out doing what he could. That’s family values. The man knows how to carry his responsibilities.

I could be wrong, but I somehow doubt that Jarrod Powell’s work ethic could come close to matching this Asian’s. Yet who is the one lying in a hospital bed on life support? Not Jarrod Powell. And since the crime happened in Bill de Blasio’s New York, one shouldn’t count on Powell having the book thrown at him.

The $27 million question — who is more deserving of sympathy: Yao Pan Ma or George Floyd? It must be Floyd because he has been elevated to what passes for sainthood by the media. On top of that, Minneapolis gave Floyd’s family $27 million dollars for his death.

It's time for the mob to pressure Mayor Kaiser Wilhelm Deblasio to rename that block on that street as "Yao Pan Ma Way".

Start with signs on the poles at each end of the block and dare the city government to take them down.

Force the propagandists at ABCCBSCNNNBCNPRNYTWAPO to refer to that block as "Yao Pan Ma Way".

Force Google maps, Apple maps, and Garmin to add "Yao Pan Ma Way" to their systems.

This will be added to the list of fake hate crimes against Asians by Whitey. Only Whitey didn’t do it. So non-Whitey has a free pass to do anything he wants and can get away with it, all the while putting the blame on Whitey.

Karen Garner, the 73-year-old with dementia and sensory aphasia in Loveland, Colo. who was injured in a violent arrest by cops who shared the video of the arrest and laughed about it afterwards was also the wrong race. Had she been black, BLM and Antifa would have descended on Loveland to burn and loot.

In my suburban area...an area chock full of wealthy white "progressives"...there have been yard signs for months saying things like "Black Lives Matter"..."Hate Has No Home Here"..."What We Believe"..."Anybody But Trump"...and others as well.Recently I've started seeing a number of "Stop Asian Hate" signs. I wonder if these Range Rover owners have given any thought to just who is assaulting Asians?

Of course that's a foolish question...they know that every such assault is committed by a white guy missing half his teeth and sporting a MAGA hat.
