Philadelphia police are not investigating the incident as a hate crime. They say the suspect and victim didn't know each other, and no insults or slurs were exchanged prior to the attack.

Time for a total withdrawal.

Sickening... Good man, young father taken from his family.

Hope the dumb POS that thought this accident was worthy of throwing a punch gets raped daily in prison for the rest of his useless life.

"Police have arrested a suspect, Jose Figueroa

A white-Hispanic nationalist, no doubt.

No mugshot nor mention of any previous criminal history. The ABC 6 people must have run out of ink or sumthin' before they got to that stuff.

Hands and feet kill more people than rifles every single year. And so do dirtbags like Figueroa. ABC- Always Be Carrying.

Nope. It's perfectly normal for a non-Asian to come out of the blue and deliver a fatal punch to an Asian. It's a good thing for Figueroa that he didn't use any ethnic slurs. /s

"Police have arrested a suspect, Jose Figueroa of Hunting Park. He's charged with manslaughter."

Here is the key to why the police will not call it a so called "hate crime."   Both ethnicities have equal status and cancel each other out.   Woke progressive cancel culture is still a vile and devolved piece of work.

Just social justice counter-strike. Perfectly understandable.

“Mrs. Zhang...spoke to 6abc through a Mandarin translator.”

“The employee who got into the minor car crash didn’t speak English and called Lin to help him communicate with the other driver.”

The widow was speaking through an interpreter, it’s likely that neither the criminal or the victim was an American.
