Inside the California organization tracking anti-Asian hate incidents
Cal Matters ^ | JUNE 7, 2021 | MALLIKA SESHADRI

Stop AAPI Hate, a California-based coalition, has recorded nearly 7,000 hate incidents involving Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders nationwide since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic. It’s become a key source of information for the media and for advocates looking to stop the surge of racist attacks.

TOPICS: Culture/Society
KEYWORDS:
While the Stop AAPI Hate coalition has called for allyship between different marginalized communities, Lacuesta said some media coverage of attacks on Asian Americans has perpetuated anti-Blackness. “Though there are perpetrators of many backgrounds, Black individuals tend to get the most media attention,” he said.


So let's ignore factual data because it does not fit the narrative. Talk about deniers.

Hold on a second. Herr commandant buyDUNG has declared that when choosing between “truth” and facts, we are obliged to choose “truth”. So compiling a list of oath keepers, proud boyz and boogaloo dudes seems to be perfectly fine.

Asians know which group is commiting the attacks on their community and no amount of white wash will change that.

Yeah, because Trump said “Chinese virus” blacks are targeting Asians for attacks and so all Whiteys should hang their heads in shame and guilt.

“Moving forward, members of the Stop AAPI Hate coalition say they hope to continue their work combating white supremacy,...”

This group downplays the fact that the majority of assaults are committed by blacks, and even regrets that the response has been increased policing in Asian neighborhoods which has resulted in more arrests of blacks.

“Jacob Lacuesta, an Asian American Studies graduate student at San Francisco State, said he supports the coalition’s efforts but that the name Stop AAPI Hate homogenizes the Asian American community and is a “complete erasure” of different Asian identities, leaving out South Asians and Middle Eastern people, among others. “

Ignoring the fact that these cultures have hated and murdered each other for a thousand years.

By far, the only effective way to stop “anti-Asian hate” is for the myriad groups called “East Asians”, since lots of other “Asians”, like central Asians, are not being attacked as often, to band together to fight back *against those who are attacking them*, not imaginary racist enemies.

The major ethnic groups that form the core of East Asia are the Han (Chinese), Korean, and Yamato (Japan archipelago). So this means that each of these subdivisions defend themselves.

Chinese in the US have a long tradition of protection groups, most especially the ‘Tongs’, who as early as the 1900s formed very strong armed crime groups, some of which still exist today in a more benevolent form. In the early years the Tongs employed “hatchet men” or *boo how doy*, armed with hatchet like meat cleavers.

Imagine how impressed the ‘homies’ would be seeing one of their mates get his head split open? It would put a real damper on their bullying, and the word would spread quickly.

For their part, the Koreans and Japanese also have effective mutual protection oriented groups. And all it would take is a willingness to meet violence with strength. It is legitimate self defense.

Well, for 126% of the problem, let’s try to figure out why their percentages seem to add up to 125% of the attacks? Multiple “incidents” per incident, most likely?

That noted, 65% + 18% are “perceptions” of attacks and “perceptions” of discrimination - only 13% (still way too many!) are verifiable physical assaults. Given the many thousands now of racial attacks that have been committed by blacks and BLM activists against their own race to attract attention, I am skeptical of the total numbers as well. Note that this group does NO verification, but admits to managing (editing) the reports for content and grammar.

But, in the middle of ALL of these charges and (deliberate) racist charges against whites and the assumed “white supremacists” supposedly instigated by Trump when he (correctly) identified the sources of the Wuhan virus was China, and attempted to stop travel to/from China against the viciously partisan democrat claims, NO ONE in this organization has identified how many assaults on Asians have been committed BY blacks and Mexican-Central Americans!

It’s called the Knockout Game, with whites and Asians as the targets.
