Iām upvoting this by virtue of not being about Trump or Musk.

The reality was that most of the attacks on asiasn… were by black folks and that didnt dove tail well with the narrative.

Imagine the outcry and delirium if the whites were attacking the asians

āHey boss, stats are in and I donāt think weāre gonna make as much money off of this weird insincere social revolution as we did on the other oneā
āShit.. do you think theyād let us do BLM2 or is it too soon?ā

Most anti east Asian racism I see is from black Americans. Probably what theyāre alluding to.

It is true though. What is the facepalm here? We Indians get attacked quite frequently by the black community and there has been many bad cases recently which made headlines in our country but obviously no actions whatsoever.
i guess all these videos about Asian people getting KOd by certain individuals all over the US weāre just tiktok pranksā¦

It’s black people. Black people punch above their weight in overall crime, violent crime and anti-asian crime per capita. Also single motherhood.
Isosceles_Kramer79 on
There is definitely some of that.Ā
I recall an interview on NPR I heard a couple of years ago. The interviewee, some activist on anti-Asian violence said explicitly that the reason she does not focus on black on Asian violence is because she does not want to damage black-Asian relations.Ā
My jaw hit the floor at her honesty.

Hard to swallow pill right there.

Was COVID the big trigger for this? The whole ‘China virus’ thing. Maybe we just got back to a more normal level of Asian hate and it seemed less important to everyone.
DoomOfChaos on
I just couldn’t sort out which group of Asians I was supposed to hate so I opted out.
California_King_77 on
The people attacking Asians don’t fit the convenient political narrative, so we just ignore the topic outright
coffeefordessert on
As an Asian living in Bay Area and have my whole life. Itās mostly black people who fucks with us.
Iām not saying white, Latinos or even other Asian donāt mess with us, they do too.
ItsAKimuraTrap on
Yeah honestly they pretty right on this one
DelightfulWahine on
And the most recent one was when a Black man pushed a senior age Filipino woman to her death at the BART station in San Francisco. And it actually happens more often than we think. Nobody wants to say anything but it is what it is.

I remember during the start of the violence they were denouncing White Supremacy as the cause. After more attacks they sure didn’t use that label again lol.

Whats the facepalm here? Its true

Black people donāt have the structural power to be racist so assaulting Asian people shouldnāt even be a crime we gotta look at the deeper socioeconomic issues that would lead to this/s
Whiplash907 on
Yeah thatās pretty much what happened

What’s facepalm here? Not racism when one segment of pop does it ? Is that it? Only Institutional Racism = Racism acktually
theseustheminotaur on
The annoying thing about some people is that they think every part of their narrative has to conform for any parts of it to be true. Bigotry against any racial group because of their membership of that group is wrong, full stop. It is annoying we can’t call out bigotry where bigotry exists
Crescent-Fresh774 on
Well, yeah.
You had that one white dude in Atlanta who killed those Asian girls, and the left thought they were onto something.
Then they found out the dude had a thing for Asian girls. Oops.
Right after that, videos started surfacing of black people in NYC, Philly, and California attacking Asian people.
That was right around the time the Stop Asian Hate campaign dried up.
So, yet again, the real facepalm is OP.

Why is this facepalm? This is 100% true.
LebrahnJahmes on
To be fair coming out of the 90’s and early 00’s it’s not a surprise they were playing it safe. People don’t know how much tension there was between the two communities. Relations are definitely way better now but the history is still there.

I remember seeing this article about an Asian student at Yale that was shot and killed. I remember vividly that headlines were very much attributing it to Asian Hate. It was on a bunch of media outlets and got a bunch of attention because it was during this movement.
To clarify: this is not condoning Asian hate, but rather displaying how media/movements work.
Tcr8888 on
How is this a facepalm? The black on Asian crime rate in major cities is out of control. I would absolutely refuse to walk around without a gun if I was Asian.
PraetorGold on
This absolutely true. In NYC as what was already a well known secret in the city, started becoming extremely obvious to outsiders, the potential for escalation became palpable. There are huge people out there who would just start beating up on little women because of their race.

Black on Asian crime in NYC is so normal that people just assume thatās what happened when itās on the news.
Took the Q from Flatbush through Chinatown into midtown for work for years and Iāll tell you

u/OP why is this a facepalm. A large percentage of the random attacks were black on Asian violence. It contradicted and took away from BLM so it was pushed out of the news. The dude in the screenshot isn’t wrong.

Edit1: [An article about some of the recent deaths in the US](https://thepienews.com/increasing-attacks-deaths-worry-indian-students-in-the-us/)
Edit 2: Although [this](https://youtu.be/8bCSaScu7EU?si=EQIqcWDLtZOWHPXw) happened in Canada not the US, still counts as an example of the type of harassment we go through.
