There are plenty of posters on this Politics forum who are aware and who are willing to write about it.
There are of course plenty of liberals who blame white people for everything, from math being racist to the "need" for people of color taking the roles of white men in decades-old American comic books.
And only the most ignorant people are not aware that within the black American community - a huge and highly diverse set of people - it is a small minority which commits crimes against other races, and these crimes include rape, robbery, assault, burglary, murder, and other such offenses.
The problem is that this small minority is nonetheless large if compared to the entire population of the United States (330 million of so). The "black underclass" is real, and it is usually its members who do the things such as assaults on Asians and the beastly creature who assaulted the Asian driver in Philadelphia and reached for a handgun as per the Twitter video shown by another poster.
I am friends with and acquainted with East Asian immigrants whose older relatives were held at gunpoint numerous times by black criminals in their New York City businesses. There were cases of black thieves pistol-whipping small, older Asian women in the head; some ended up in a coma.
These incidents, frankly, are legion, and they are old.
We need to understand that there are thousands of criminal incidents which go unreported. The media, however biased and dishonest and fake it may be, doesn't have the capacity to cover every single crime that happens, whether it's interracial or intra-racial. Not all crimes that are reported make it to the news, and some which do make it to the news only reach local outlets; it's not something like Trayvon Martin's death or George Floyd's death which hits national news.
The United States is a vast and diverse country, and there are people at the bottom of the socioeconomic scale whom nobody wants to deal with. For every upper-middle-class and upper-class suburb in California, Virginia, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Texas, and Vermont, there is a corresponding neighborhood (either in the same state or in another) where crime is rampant, where drugs are sold out in the open, where gangs operate, where the presence of HIV/AIDS, STDs, and other pathogens is such that it is usually seen only in the world's poorest nations, and where no middle-class, college-educated voter - whether a fervent leftist who believes borders should be abolished or a reactionary, far-right conservative who wants all nonwhites deported (and every shade in the political spectrum in between) would ever want to live and would ever allow his/her teenage children to hang out at.
For Asian immigrants, the painful experience has been that because they were oftentimes only able to afford opening up small businesses in the poorest urban areas, this put them in direct and frequent contact with African-Americans, and again, we are not speaking about the Ben Carsons and the Thomas Sowells of the world. We are talking about people who are generally members of the "black underclass."
I do not laugh at the suffering that people in the "black underclass" (or at the suffering of the poorest people in any other ethnic/racial group). There are law-abiding people within the "black underclass" who simply can't afford to live elsewhere.
But the media has portrayed blacks - whether they are underclass or not - only as victims, especially in regards to events like Trayvon Martin's death, Michael Brown's death, and more recently, George Floyd's death. The impression has been created that blacks are being hunted by police, when studies done by Harvard show police officers in America are no likelier to shoot blacks than whites, and when about 20 "unarmed" blacks were shot by police in 2019 (and "unarmed" could have meant "handgun present inside glove compartment" rather than "hands up, pockets proved to be empty").
The "black underclass" is the group largely responsible for crimes against Asians. The failure of the media to cover these attacks in the same way it covers incidents like Floyd's death is not accidental, for it seeks to create and to perpetuate the impression that blacks are only victims and can only be victims.
East Asians, as far as I can see, do see what's happening. Older immigrants who may not speak fluent English and who don't follow mainstream news aren't happy, whereas those who were raised and educated here and who are not left-leaning know all this. In any case, they respond with their feet: they do the exact same thing the wokest of the woke white liberals do when it comes to places of residence, and that is, they stay away from blacks, even those who aren't part of the "black underclass."
Is this racist? Is this "segregation?" I would qualify it as a rational response. And at the very least, East Asians who deliberately seek distance from blacks are not hypocritical, unlike woke white liberals, who shout and march about how black lives matter but live in mostly if not wholly white and therefore, well-off/rich areas where the very people whose lives they defend can never afford to live.
