An awful lot. They are improving lives of everyday black people on a daily basis.

Again, disclaimer alert, I've never been there, I've never seen any Asians being directly racist toward Blacks, just spouting of the hearsay as as I've heard it.
In my case, there were some occasions where I was mistreated by convenient store clerks. Very often, it wasn't in Black neighborhoods. This often happened in predominantly White areas.

I've never been to Japan or South Korea either. I can confirm that some very Anti-Black incidents have taken place in mainland China during the 1980s. Nanjing anti-African protests in 1988. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanj...rican_protests

As for my experiences, it wasn't from South Korean immigrants or Japanese immigrants. It had to do with a few South Asian-owned convenience stores. I got accused of stealing a few times. I wasn't stealing and there was no proof of me stealing. And this wasn't in the ghetto. It was a predominantly White suburban area.

Not any better than Republicans have done. Again, given that politics is racial, I pose this question: What's going to get Black people to vote Republican? And come up with something besides "Look, the Democrats are no good".

Let's just do away with the sarcasm. I notice that when it comes to getting people to vote Republican, the only things anyone can do is use negative things, negative re-enforcement. I never hear anything positive.

I bring this up for a reason. It was mentioned "Black on Asian crime is another reason Asians are turning to the Republican Party". Basically, thus screams "Want to get people to vote Republican? Remind them of all the problems Black people cause, and who Blacks are out to destroy American society". That is what I got from it. That is why I asked "How will you convince Blacks to vote Republican?". To me, this was more like "Black people are a problem, exclude them".

the crazy part is 75% of the attacks on asians in america are white people. even when that shooting happened at that asian church a few weeks ago people assumed it was a black person and it turned out to be another asian. they run with a narrative built to deflect. i posted in here about FOUR asian people being attacked by a non-black woman and it's crickets.

edit: and another white man just arrest for an asian attack.

Wonderful! Can you give me a positive example, other than his proclamation of your not being black if you don't vote for him?

Your words, not mine. I said nothing negative, I asked what this administration has done for blacks. IOW, I was asking for positive examples.

In your opinion, what do you think is the reason politics is racial?

I don't really care WHO is committing these attacks against Asians. It is wrong, period. And the attackers need to be punished.

However, there is one thing I think about. These attacks are used as a political whipping post by both sides. The far right only talks about Black on Asian attacks to further their agenda of "See what Blacks are like? America is better off without Black people". The far left only reports of White on Asian attacks to further their agenda of "White conservatives are virulently racist and hate anyone who isn't White, Anglo-Saxon Protestant", or "Being a racist is only a White conservative thing".

In this particular case, we have some far-right wing individuals using Black on Asian violence to further their agenda of "Blacks are a problematic population and something needs to be done to put them in line".

Well, I notice whenever people talk about "that group is going to vote Republican" only negative reasons are given. I'm not saying this administration is any good (I voted for Jo Jorgensen, so don't blame me). I'm saying that in this case, someone is thinking that Blacks could be used as a negative impetus for convince Asians to vote Republican.

Politics is racial because it's ALWAYS been that way. It's been that way from day one. It boils down to American history.
