    Nothing you say is wrong
    But the accuser must show evidence

    Jeremy Lin can lie like any human being
    And his constant Christian talk doesn’t make him credible of not lying

    there were clear video evidence of all the other attacks on Asian Americans

    Lin said someone in the G league called him coronavirus
    Should be easy to find the evidence since all games are recorded

    Exactly.

    Jeremy Lin has to be the worst example
    He has a history of going to the media to grab attention to himself

    Shaq made insensitive statements to Yao Ming and he owned up and apologized for it

    nobody is apologizing to Lin
    Maybe because nobody said anything to him in the G league

    There was zero looting during the massive winter storms
    It’s a combination of communities being more integrated and everyone having guns

    Refresh my memory - wasn't Shaq racist towards Yao, on-camera or something?

    I very much doubt people who are racist towards Lin (or racist towards anyone in general) would proactively come out and apologize unless they were caught on camera or audio.

    Chinatown is absolutely NOT the safest place in the city. What even is that statement?? What does "open all the time" even mean? You don't want to be outside walking the streets of 77036 at night. Trust me.

    https://www.houstonchronicle.com/ne...p-code-has-the-most-homicides-in-13534635.php

    https://www.movoto.com/guide/housto...xt=Safety,property crimes per 1,000 residents.

    Safety
    Although there are a lot of advantages to living in this neighborhood, crime in Chinatown remains a concern. Chinatown Houston experiences 50 violent crimes and 149 property crimes each year. This amounts to 12.75 violent crimes per 1,000 residents and 38 property crimes per 1,000 residents. The rate of violent crimes in this neighborhood is higher than the rate for Houston and the nation as a whole.

    They are investigating it.

    I have a huge issue with the fact that he chose to go to the press with it and when the league agrees to do an investigation he goes silent. That makes no sense whatsoever.

    Look, I completely understand Asians experience racism. It's as despicable as any other form. Lin uses it to make himself a victim. He's a G-League player who is set for life. Why not speak out? His career is over. If he honestly cared he'd out the people who did that and help make progress. Problem is that he's fake and out for himself. Always has been

    He is still a human being just like everyone else. These kind of name calling has no place in our society.

    And humans can lie
    And you can have an opinion that he’s good at basketball
    I don’t think he is compared to other players that his fans say he was better than

    again you don’t go to the police and say there’s a crime and then tell them you won’t tell them who did the crime

    the accuser and snitch can never be the same person

    His fans were and still are devoid of reality. When you have people calling him better then harden, Nash and so on the only conclusion you can come up with is they are deranged.

    As for the whole accusation my point is racism exsists but your right he needs to fully cooperate with the nba

    I totally agree
    You can’t end racism if you lie about it
    That’s not fair to the real victims like the elderly people attacked on the street

    also if you say there’s racism in the g league
    That’s putting a bad mark on the league and the players
    You better be accurate

    the problem I have with Lin is he’s an obvious attention w****
    He never got better at a basketball player and his constant whining on Twitter , the media, church etc was insanely obnoxious
    Like his fans

    That idiot that claims he is enlightened, Steve Kerr used a racial slur on the air against Yao. As for Shaq. Yeah he said some ignorant things but he also defended Yao later and admitted that it was more of a spectacle to him because he had never seen such a good Asian player before. He seems to have learned from it.

    Asiatown Katy is safe too
    Nobody attacking elderly people in the middle of the day

    at least in Houston if you get attacked they are trying to rob you

    criminals in Houston aren’t racist like those in New York or Cali
    They’ll rob anybody

    You can dislike racism or sexism or any number of “isms” and not think that a persons life should be ruined for a mistake, especially a young person. If we ruined the life of every person that said something racist or sexist or classist in their youth, there would be few people left.

    I can understand Lin not wanting to name the person because of the consequences to that person are likely to be far beyond the crime. I have seen and heard people say bigoted things about my wife and her ethnicity. I will tell them they are ignorant or explain it to them. My wife will as well... and a few times I have hit the person... but we don’t ruin their lives on social media or cost them their jobs. Most people that say offensive things either are oblivious or ignorant.

    Lin using the racism card in the G League as well?

    This is typical Lin move. He has been doing this for along time.

    He did it to gain sympathy, thinking he will play his usual games. But as soon as things got serious, he backs away from helping the investigation.

    Name the player. Let the player face consequences. And let it be warning to others.

    Handle it like a man, if true. Instead he cries about things and uses it to garner sympathy for himself. He has done this too many times to give him the benefit of doubt.

    Was the Chinese league racist to him as well? Is that why he was crying that he was getting physically beaten up there?

    Not only is he a scrub as basketball player, but he is also an opportunist that plays his lunatic fans. Pathetic player and a person.
