I had a conversation with my brother in Oregon, last night. Besides the usual family matters, he brought up a call he received from a ‘friend.’ The friend wanted to check on my brother and the family amidst rising violence toward Asian Americans. While my brother appreciated the gesture, he told his friend that it wasn’t necessary. The friend said he had been concerned about all the anti-Asian violence ever since Trump and the “China” virus rhetoric.
The friend knows my brother is a staunch conservative, so my brother got irritated. He asked the dude, what’s Trump got to do with the Georgia shootings and where was his phone call last year? The friend said he didn’t get what my brother was getting at. My brother replied that there were over 3,800 incidents of anti-Asian violence last year, yet you didn’t check on us. The friend said he didn’t know. My brother said, of course not—because no one besides us Asians cared. But now that you see a perp is a white male from the South, you start to care. You have to make this about YOU making a political statement rather than really caring about us, the Asian Americans.
My brother is correct. How can we trust and believe your sentiments when you didn’t care last year when we pleaded for assistance? The district attorneys in the Bay area and NYC acted blind to our plight. The national mainstream media didn’t lend us their ear nor their voice because the narrative didn’t fit.
But, now, you care.
You use our victimhood, turning it into your political gains—whether to infringe on the 2A or keep portraying Trump as that boogeyman. You sided with the rich NBA players over the freedom fighters of Hong Kong. You sided with Disney and NIKE over the lives and the dignity of the Uighurs in western China. You praised Antifa while they harassed and doxxed a gay Asian journalist. You sided with the rioters and looters that stole, robbed, and burned down our shops and businesses all last summer.
Yesterday, we found out the killer in the Georgia shooting rampage is a disturbed young man who is an Asian fetishist. Not exactly the perp that my brother’s friend wished for. I find it twisted and sick that there are a lot of white folks who get a ‘hard on’ for minorities’ victimhood. It’s as reprehensible as someone who has an Asian sexual fetish. Which is confusing—because one moment we are categorized with the ‘Whites’ when we are applying for colleges and universities and we don’t get the same affirmative action benefits of other POC when applying for a job— yet we are marginalized victims again, to serve your political purpose.
So we are just pawns.
My brother told his ‘friend,’ or his ‘ally,’ to snap out of trying to be the white savior. It was clear to my brother that the phone call was about the dude’s self righteousness and it was more self-serving than a true concern for the welfare and well-being of our family or any other Asians. My apologies, if my brother and I and some of our fellow Asians respond with indignation.
You’ve written us off. You’ve ignored us. And you didn’t care for so long. But, now, you tell us you care? Don’t play us for fools. We see you for the hypocritical players that you are.
It was John on Hooker violence that had nothing to do with race.
This is great, that’s a keeper.
this “friend” sticks the the lefty script-they are not fact based but if orange man bad then orange man bad is what they say
“It’s as reprehensible as someone who has an Asian sexual fetish.”
I’ve been married to a Japanese woman for 35 years, and that is reprehensible?
Bite me.
You think this is about you?!. .whoa, calm down there, Mr Type A personality.
Its a new dawn
its a new day
its a new life
and we're Chinese now.
Japanese don't like to be called asian. They like to be called Japanese.
They consider themselves better than other 'asians', being the most racist people on the planet like they are.
#Science
Agree.
While there are plenty of Patriotic Americans of Asian decent, didn’t a substantial majority of Asians “vote” for Xiden? And isn’t an entire management layer in the White House descendants of South Asian socialists? So, gotta question how involuntary is the placement on the Rat plantation.
Asians vote Democrat over Republican in huge percentages something like 90%-10%.
Another specially-privileged government-certified victim group is being created. One more reason to demand that all Whiteys bow down in submission.
Ask white liberals and liberal Asians about the Va Tech shooting.
They are pawns. Chinese don’t vote-jury duty. Those that do don’t care about affirmative action in admissions.
For years the FBI stats have shown that most violent crimes against Asians are by blacks. By a huge %age. That, however, doesn’t fit the narrative that is essential to the commies in power — villify whites with lies.
“You think this is about you?!. .whoa, calm down there, Mr Type A personality.”
It’s as much about me as it is anyone else with Asian connections. According to this scheisskopf, attraction to Asians is a “fetish.”
“They consider themselves better than other ‘asians’, being the most racist people on the planet like they are.”
That’s true, but I don’t see where it’s connected with this guy’s BS.
I have heard Japanese talking about “Fancy Asians” and “Jungle Asians.”
well, ok then. . be pissed off. . .whatever.
I remember watch an Anthony Bourdain Show on CNN some years back.
He was with a friend, a Chef who was Korean I believe. They went to the guy’s Parent’s Home for Dinner and they had a Framed Painting of Obama proudly displayed in their Living Room.
So much for those Conservative Oriental types. FDR the DEMONCRAT puts Japanese, uh ASIAN American Citizens in Concentration Camps and his semi Black DEMONCRAT inspired Spawn is celebrated.
