But...not a hate crime.
Zero media coverage.
Hate Crime. As you said.
Invariably.
An incredible uptick in crimes against Asians in the USA since early 2020 when COVID was matched with them as an ethnic group, many people having nothing whatsoever to do with the Chicoms (Vietnamese, Japanese, Koreans, Malaysians, Filipinos etc), but suffering insults, physical injury and even death stateside by jackwads hyped up on damaging anti-Asian rhetoric and imagery.
No hate. Just a thrill killing. How reassuring. Not. Leave Chicago. Leave LA. Leave NYC. Go Galt. Go red-state. Take your parents with you.
Let the blue-state urban dwellers thrill-kill each other and get reduced to cannibalism.
