THE THREE REASONS:
1. The left wants Asians to join blacks and Hispanics as reliable votes for Democrats. So it wants Asians to believe what it wants (and has largely succeeded in getting) blacks and Hispanics to believe — namely, that Republicans and their voters are white supremacists who despise them.
2. JEALOUSY AND EMBARASSMENT: Asians are, as a relative matter, the most successful group in America. Their average income exceeds that of whites. Yet many Asians came to this country with little wealth, and few spoke English. Moreover, when they came, they often were the victims of discrimination — and in the case of the Japanese, internment for several years. Yet despite these handicaps, and without governmental solicitude, they have managed to succeed and surpass even whites.
3. DEFLECTION: There is anti-Asian discrimination in America, but one of its main sources is a principal bastion of the left: elite universities. Asians are discriminated against in seeking admission to Harvard, Yale, and other elite schools.
Yup. They want the Asians onboard the hate-whitey train. Problem is most of them are not as easily convinced as other “marginalized persons of color” (gag)
The Asians are largely aware that it is usually black people assaulting them.
There is a good deal of racism in the Asian community (against blacks). Criminality is a major reason.
If we Never Let A Crisis Go To Waste I hope we use this fear mongering to promote law and order. Anger about this is fueling the recall of DA Chesa Boudin in SF for example as it should.
