" since Trump used racially motivated rhetoric "

they still trying to blame him.

So most of these attacks are by Trump supporters? lol.

For some reason it's mostly black on not just Asian,..but Elderly Asian. But to be fair, Whites get some action too .

Leave them old people alone! Jeez. It's like they're trying to incite something.

It's horrifying what hate is doing to innocent people. Pushing some old man to the ground and killing him? Awful. Just awful. But that's what happens when you're unstable and fed a steady diet of hate. It clouds the judgement.

The man that Cuomo threatened to destroy was an Asian American. It was perhaps a hate crime.

Shhh. That fact is racist. It would be okay if you lied and said it was white supremacists inspired by Trump, that would be woke.

In fact if most of the criminals doing it were white the mainstream propaganda media would be pointing out the race and connecting it to Trump guaranteed. But since the criminals aren't white mostly in this case it must be downplayed.

What bothers me is that there is clearly a problem, but it's not being actively addressed because it's politically uncomfortable.

The same goes for attacks on LGBT, especially black trans men, uncomfortable to really address.

But if some rednecks git a gay guy like they did with Matthew Shepard, then you get the appropriate response to people doing such awful things because it's a safe narrative. "Racist white rednecks".

So you have to ask yourself, just like with the rednecks, what sort of culture is going on behind the scenes in some of the communities that are creating this environment? Clearly behind closed doors and in private conversations there is hate being thrown at asians, gays, latinos....and it's translating to violence. (And vice-versa)

This is not correct. Asians are more often victims from non-Asians.

This has been going on longer than Trump's statements though.

Sure has.

And it got attention, just as long as it was politically useful.

Now NY and other cities can go back to ignoring it and making vague references to Trump while not giving any stats on the attackers, or describing their race when giving examples like in the CNN article I posted.

Not trying to knock any group but it's the different narratives and no one ever cared about whites being bullied for decades. "If you don't like what's happening sell your house at a loss or take flight from where you lived for generations 'bigoted' whitey". And now the narrative is oh those precious, bullied Asians who recently arrived lol.

See,..this is exactly why I hate media pushing these things. Are they in fact up? In the grand scheme of things crime is crime. Media just picks what it want's to splash on the front pages.

Leftists have been trying for awhile to drag Asians into their 'fight'. Gladly they have resisted most of the frivolous sjw bait, other than say College stuff which is understandable.

But now that Trump is gone, they are doubling down on trying to get Asians on their side. To make the Right say things like,..'oh you poor Asians'. Immediately putting them on the Left's side. Trying to make an enemy out of the Right.

Yea, based on the picture and his name being Mateo, you’re likely right.
