My point was that reports like "the victim is critical but stable" minimize the damage.
Also, they should show the entire attack.
He spit on her at the end also.

There is a note that the memorial has been REPEATEDLY DESTROYED and will be eventually replaced by a permanent memorial garden.


Even if you accept that the killer murdered her because he was "sick", repeat destruction of the memorial clearly can only be an act of racist hatred - ie, the original crime may or may not have had a component of racial hatred, but the repeat destruction if the memorial proves the degree of anti-Asian racial hatred among a certain other racial group.
I really do not understand the racial hatred against Asians. I cannot point out any negative stereotype (not that I’d go by them anyway as I believe in individualism) but if I thought in terms of race or culture, I cannot see anything negative Asian Americans do as a whole.

I live next to a young professional Asian woman - similar to the one who was murdered in her apartment and it is 100% peaceful. I can tell she’s hardworking as she leaves early to work and returns around 9pm every night. I absolutely do not understand these attacks.

I am East Asian. I can tell you that there is a notable segment of the NYC population which is jealous of our perceived success and ability to "act white" by doing well in school and getting jobs. Well, I am here to tell you that "acting white" is a black/white social construct that is completely alien to East Asians.

Instead, our cultural values about education are based on Confucianism which is older than Christianity. China invented standardized testing over 2400 years ago for civil service exams to hire bureaucrats. That tradition spread to Japan, Korea, Vietnam, etc. This ethic continues to persevere to this day.

The tradeoff is that you rarely see any East Asians in media, film, advertising, music, or sports. Meanwhile Blacks and Hispanics benefit from overrepresentation in sports and music. This is partly due to external pressures like typecasting and resume rejection. It is also partly due to internal pressures like parents saying to their kids, "Why bother? You'll just end up typcasted as a kung fu martial artist or asexual nerd anyway."

There were some notable exceptions like this guy who had an incredible career during the silent film era and beyond but he was shunted by racism.

Black on Asian attacks are hardly a recent phenomenon. It has been going on way way before Covid. It was just not as highly publicized. Just pick any year before Covid (before 2019) and google and you will see plenty of black perp/Asian victim cases.

This is interesting and admirable history.

I think that as inflation and poverty increase, the more resentment there will be towards groups of people who appear to be successful. (I say appear because not everyone from an ethnic group represents the group).

That's the thing, all stereotypes about Asian Americans are exclusively positive. Envious losers cannot stand that, which is the source of their racial hatred.

Why are you guys trying to make this a race thing? Did the guy say that he wanted to rape and kill an Asian woman that day? The guy found a victim and she had happened to be Asian.
