What up New York

 

NYC has a large and older Asian population and also one that rely more on public transportation and walking. The same with the Bay Area. I don't think it has anything to do with something in the water.

 

Could there be an underlying racial tension between groups in these cities ?
There have been like multiple anti hate rallies in these cities and there’s like barely any in Houston

Why did the Koreans get attacked in Rodney King verdict in LA?

Nobody talks about the racial tension in these large cities that are not well integrated and more segregated.

remember menace 2 society ? That came out in the 90s

 

Racial tolerance from Mike Huckabee. This is the GOP.

 

what’s wrong w me in a nutshell: I’m hung up on the idea that his table is itself somehow beautiful. Cherry inlay? What’s the story?

 

Table was probably Made In China.

 

You know who United all races besides Michael Jackson? (obvious)

Swelling Anti-Asian Violence: Who Is Being Attacked Where - The New York Times (nytimes.com)

Over the last year, in an unrelenting series of episodes with clear racial animus, people of Asian descent have been pushed, beaten, kicked, spit on and called slurs. Homes and businesses have been vandalized. The violence has known no boundaries, spanning generations, income brackets and regions.

The New York Times attempted to capture a sense of the rising tide of anti-Asian bias nationwide. Using media reports from across the country, The Times found more than 110 episodes since March 2020 in which there was clear evidence of race-based hate.

There have been many more attacks on people of Asian descent in which hate is not a clear motivation the way it is when racial slurs are used. Those cases include the fatal attack of a Thai man in January, as well as the assaults of a 91-year-old man in Oakland’s Chinatown and a 89-year-old woman in Brooklyn. Those episodes, and other brutal high-profile attacks, have terrified the Asian community.

But there is no ambiguity about the cases The Times collected: These are assaults in which the assailants expressed explicit racial hostility with their language, and in which nearly half included a reference to the coronavirus: “You are the virus.” “You are infected.” “Go back to China.” “You’re the one who brought the virus here.”

...

The tally arrived at by The Times may be only a sliver of the violence and harassment people of Asian descent have faced over the last year, as hate crimes are generally undercounted and underreported and only the most egregious accounts become headlines. It is also possible that the number of reports to law enforcement authorities and the media have increased, rather than the number of episodes.

That said, our broad survey captures the breadth of violence across the country — episodes that grew in number after Donald J. Trump as president began calling the coronavirus the “Chinese virus,” which activists said fueled anti-Asian sentiments early in the pandemic.

Words matter. Tweets matter. Especially from POTUS with a loud mouthpiece. 3/16/2020 is when Trump tweeted "Chinese Virus".

Association of “#covid19” Versus “#chinesevirus” With Anti-Asian Sentiments on Twitter: March 9–23, 2020 | AJPH | Vol. Issue (aphapublications.org)

Objectives. To examine the extent to which the phrases, “COVID-19” and “Chinese virus” were associated with anti-Asian sentiments.

Results. One fifth (19.7%) of the 495 289 hashtags with #covid19 showed anti-Asian sentiment, compared with half (50.4%) of the 777 852 hashtags with #chinesevirus. When comparing the week before March 16, 2020, to the week after, there was a significantly greater increase in anti-Asian hashtags associated with #chinesevirus compared with #covid19 (P < .001).

Conclusions. Our data provide new empirical evidence supporting recommendations to use the less-stigmatizing term “COVID-19,” instead of “Chinese virus.” (Am J Public Health. Published online ahead of print March 18, 2021: e1–e9. https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2021.306154)

 

Tampa Bay Buccaneers CB Carlton Davis tweets anti-Asian slur, apologizes

TAMPA, Fla. -- Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Carlton Davis sent a tweet containing an anti-Asian slur Sunday night, and he has since apologized, saying he did not realize the term's deeply hurtful meaning.

"Gotta stop letting g---- in Miami," Davis wrote in the since-deleted tweet.

Davis, 24, apologized in subsequent tweets for using the slur and said he thought the term meant "lame."

"I would never offend any group of people," Davis wrote in a tweet accompanied by an image from an undisclosed slang dictionary entry. "You reporters can look for another story to blow up. The term was directed towards a producer claiming he 'ran Miami' With that being said I'll retire that word from my vocabulary giving the hard times our Asian family are enduring ❤️.

Yeah, okay.

 

Geez.

 

I loved that show, maybe we need some more of that in our lives.

 

This is so dumb I have to believe him, why would a 24 year old from Miami know what gooks mean.

Not saying it is an excuse but words have different meanings in time.

 

At first I was going to so no F'ing way then I actually looked it up in urban dictionary and there it was from 2017.

They just attacking people in the Bay!

Two violent attacks in San Francisco, one on Asian man, 30 minutes apart

A half-hour later, another man identified by KGO as 59-year-old Danilo Yu Chang, was shoved from behind and struck repeatedly in the face and head in the Financial District. He was unconscious after the assault.

 

@MojoMan

 

fyi, Beth Moore, a famous Christian evangelist and writer recently caused shockwaves in the Christian community by announcing she was leaving the Southern Baptist Convention because of deep differences she felt with trumpism. I think she would point to mike huckabee's tweet as a proofpoint.

 

Ugly ass unfunny cartoons are ugly ass unfunny cartoons.

Most of the reported uptick in Asian hate related crimes are in heavily dense liberal cities
