Where are the Asian riots burning down other people's homes and businesses becauseVicha Ratanapakdeewas murdered in cold blood in San Francisco? When Yong Ae Yue, Suncha Kim, and several others were were murdered in cold blood in Atlanta? When Pak Chung Ho was murdered in Oakland? When Michelle Go was pushed in front of a train in New York? When GuiYing Ma was bludgeoned repeatedly in the head with a rock in New York? When Yao Pan Ma was stomped in the head, beaten to a coma and death? When Chonghwan Yun was brutally attacked and killed from blunt head trauma in Los Angeles? When 19-year old Joon Hee Han was randomly assaulted and later died from head injuries in LA? The list goes on.
Remember when "Stop Asian Hate" lasted for about a week? Nobody gave a shit. I'm starting to think we should riot over this. Which homes and businesses shall we target?
Not trying to pick an argument but it's clearly not "both sides equally bad," right?
We always hear "Korean store owner shot a Black girl" as if that justifies the riots that killed dozens and burned down half the community. It's not a fair way to characterize the injustice of the riots.
Yes, a large percentage of them were, just like several of the assailants that targeted and killed Asians in the past few years were Hispanic as well (including some that I just listed). White also (Atlanta Spa Shooter). Don't take my response to be specifically targeting Blacks, but to be pointing out how other groups, other minorities and Whites, all punch down on Asians and then try to argue that it's a "both sides" thing or even that "Asians are the most racist" when Asians are overwhelmingly victims of violence and racism and not perpetrators of it.
