Go back to my original post. I was not comparing the Buffalo incident to what happened to Chicago. I was comparing the Buffalo incident with the Dallas shooting of the three Korean women. Which along with the Waukesha parade incident seems to have been suppressed compared to Buffalo. So, no, not different situations. All three are hate crimes, yet only one incident seems to be front and center, and got a visit from Biden.
Were you aware of a similar problem in Buffalo in the early 80s when a white man targeted black people? He killed 12 black in the Buffalo area and 19 overall before he was caught. So maybe this was a repeat of a terrible type of incident in the same area.
Any specific targeting of an ethnicity for assault is bad. However, even you can tell the difference when there is a plan set out ahead of time to specifically murder a large number of people of one type versus some type of road rage. Life is too complicated to try to call different situations comparable.

I stand by what I've stated earlier in this thread. Sorry, I don't see it any other way.
"People can deny it all they want, but the fact is, our politicians and media pick and choose which incidents to report and react to, to push agendas or suppress things."
What we do have is a group of politicians that sitting around just waiting for a white person to shoot some asians or blacks so that they can beat the drum of division loudly.
They downplay, ignore or just don't report on many other incidents that don't support their narratives.
It creates a false impression of frequency.
It get's a lot less funny when you look at Cook Counties 1000+ homicides in 2021 and 80% of them are black.
Back in the day, ignoring that was racist.
Heck, we've had recent complaints that when a pretty white girl is murdered it gets lots of press....it does and they climb up the backside of the guy and his family looking for dirt and so forth (Petito\Landry for example.)
Imagine doing the exact same stuff if they're black and it will get *uncomfortable* really quick and the media attacks on the dude may even be called "racist" for focusing on it so much.
Sad double standards at play.
Oh most definitely, however the media has been known to release past histories of Black suspects (well, except for that one time Giuliani released an adult suspects sealed juvenile record). I know way more than I need to about that criminal Michael Brown, or Waukesha murderer etc.. Their court cases are public record, so pretty much anyone can find out about any priors, and sometimes, it's the media that's doing that and publishing it.
