1. There's a difference in neighborhoods as well. There's almost certainly no way you're not cognizant of that, so you're more likely just being disingenuous.
2. This crashpad doesn't make much sense if you're worried so much about staying there. A hotel in a place where you aren't worried makes more sense.
3. Yes, it's not about you, but it becomes about you anyways. This happens in a lot of threads you're involved in with the common factor there being you. No one's forbidding you to own property, but it's kosher enough to tell you that you're being disingenuous or have a habit of making ridiculous statements.
Asian woman struck with hammer in NYC plans to return to Taiwan
The Asian woman who was bludgeoned with a hammer in an unprovoked Hell’s Kitchen attack said she plans to return to Taiwan — until New York City is safe again, according to a new report.
The 31-year-old woman, a recent FIT graduate
said she and a friend were walking to the subway — believing it would be safer to go together — when she was attacked on West 42nd Street near 9th avenue
She and her friend managed to disarm the suspect, and the hammer was recovered at the scene. The perp, however, is still on the loose.

That lady looks like Leslie Jones. Maybe she is upset that Elon is hosting SNL with Miley...
The left truly is evil for failing to call out racism when it doesn't suit their agenda. If we can't call a spade a spade, there is a serious problem.
The attacks are being shown on the news and described at hate crimes and they show pictures of the suspects and these are presented by the mainstream media as hate crimes and which conservatives regard as left. A bill was also just passed regarding these types of crimes
"The left" is vague.
Realistically, without sarcasm. Name an organization or political figure or news outlet on the left and say exactly what you expect them to do to call out this racism

They are being described as hate crimes (sometimes), but a spade is not being called a spade. A white person engages in violence and the media instantly brings up a white supremacy, systemic racism narrative. A clear picture of white on black or white on any other race hatred is plastered throughout the news.
The same is not happening here. In fact, I see almost zero stories actually/literally call out the race of the perp in these cases, whereas the same is not true if a perp is white. We hear phrases like the racially-charged "Karen," "Corner store Caroline," and explicit descriptors noting that a perp is "white" if, well, someone white commits a crime against a racial minority.
And, yes, the media does lean left, as do academics and certain other professions. That there are a minority of conservatives within these career fields doesn't change that.
For starters, the media can be honest (or at least consistent) and state that black supremacists are attacking Asians (and Jews before that) in NYC. That there is a problem with black racially motivated racism in NYC. We are not getting that.

They are, but briefly and then that's it. On to the next one.
Some online groups don't even allow discussions about these types of crime because they are afraid it will bring "racist comments".
On the rare occasion where it is the other way around, the white criminal is symbolically crucified for days on end.
There is a painfully clear double standard going on. I hope you realize that, jonbenson. I also hope you understand that this is not sustainable and will likely backfire.

It's no secret either. I recall reading an article from a newspaper in New Orleans explaining why they refused to note the race of a perp if s/he was black in their reporting of crimes. It was supposedly to be in order to ensure that black people weren't stigmatized further. But if you can't call a spade a spade and treat everyone the same in this most basic regard and when public safety is at issue, you don't deserve to call yourself a journalist. Give us the news, not your racist, political spin.
Here is the "standard" that newsrooms apply:
Quote:
Newsrooms apply a standard test, according to a 2008 article from the Society of Professional Journalists: "[Is] the racial information useful to people in the community who might know the attacker or want to avoid harm themselves? Or [is] it so general that it only merely contributes] to stereotypes about one group or another?"
Of course, the problem is that this standard is hypocritical and not uniformly enforced. The media don't seem to care about stereotypes against white people. No, the media will identify whites--white police officers, white "Karen's," and others--regardless of evidence of actual racially motivated bias.
Exactly. Plus, it could have the opposite effect of what they intended.
If they don't mention the suspect or perp's race at all, people might automatically assume that he/she was black.

Oh, I agree. Based on what is evident before my eyes and on the "standard" that media types have adopted, this is the natural assumption to be made as far as I'm concerned. As a black man, it infuriates me. I want justice, fairness and equality, not media types creating racist standards that actually do more harm that good to the social fabric of our society. Pretending that a problem won't make it go away or lead to reduced stereotypes.
I guess this "standard" is why the black on black crime problem in NYC and other places aren't cause for alarm either. But, rather than not perpetrate certain stereotypes, they ensure that people and neighborhoods that actually need help the most continue to suffer. A black boy gunned down in Brownsville isn't a problem for the national media, unless the person who killed the black boy is white. That is an evil policy of reporting and ensures that black people continue to suffer needlessly. No other community would tolerate this nonsense
