    It's a failure of parents, but the richer Asian family can't say that publicly. They'd get more **** if they said what the dude said. By giving them the benefit of the doubt, this was the best way to put the best foot forward.

    “We support Black Lives Matter, why are you doing this?”

    Seriously, how out of touch can you be? How entitled can you be?

    There’s a lot of people like this

    there is no woke shield

    you can’t tell cartel members you support open borders
    @Salvy
    They don’t care and they will still hold you for ransom

    @AroundTheWorld
    There’s a narrative that the racism only exists in the south
    Not even close , it’s way more segregated in these super expensive states like California and New York

    guess who the rich people are and guess who are the poor ? No middle class , no harmony

    Do we have any Asians in this country with enough balls to speak up and tell it like it is?

    The media won’t show Black people attack Asian people in New York or California
    It breaks the woke media narrative that black people can’t be racist. Since the media is headquartered in those two states, they don’t want to show how extremely segregated it is.

    rush hour is a movie , there’s no Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan buddying around town

    I mean dude you can’t even get a PlayStation without a riot happening

    I've had white people tell me to go back to my country (along with various racial slurs) or try to intimidate me by swerving their car at me on the road while I'm walking on the edge of the street (no sidewalk).

    I've had black people call me yao ming on a public court.

    You tell me which one I should be afraid of.

    I remember once some black guys calling me "Yao Ming" while playing pick up ball. I pointed out that Yao Ming is 7'-5" and I'm 5'-7".

    On the main topic yes there a disturbing amount of attacks on Asians and many of these have been from black males. In many of these incidences they appear to be suffering from mental illness. I brought this up in the Alabama brawl thread but I don't believe this is part of a movement on the part of Black Americans targetting Asian Americans. There has been a history of tension between black americans and Asian Americans with it culminating in seige of Koreatown during the Rodney King riots. Many of the most recent attacks where there is a reason appear to be from COVID paranoia.

    While many of the recent attacks on Asian Americans have been from blacks it certainly isn't limited to blacks. There have been attacks including mass shootings of Asians by Hispanic and white individuals with a lot of the rhetoric blaming Chinese and by extension all Asians for COVID coming from White Americans.

    This is true
    But go ask some old people in Oakland Chinatown who’s they are afraid of? Berkeley bro in sperry topsiders?

    there’s a deeper question on why it happens in these cities than people saying but it happens in other states .

    That Asian family saying hey I support Black Lives Matter why are you attacking us? They live in Vegas
    Haven’t seen the hate at the bellagio or ceasars buffet
    These black teens attacked this family and just made fun of them not because they were thinking of Covid
    This doesn’t happen in a small town
    @Salvy
    I wonder
    Why
    Breh

    @J.R.

    you know what’s consistent about the woke people here ?
    They don’t condemn what that teenager did to that family

    they just want to say it happens here or white people are racists too
    Of course, everybody is racists , humans are tribal creatures

    they just don’t want to admit there’s that these cities are falling apart like what Ras Al Ghul told Bruce Wayne

    black people don't attack asians in small towns. it's an urban phenomena.

    Many of the attacks are on people who aren’t ethnic Chinese. In Minnesota there were attacks on Hmong. It’s has to do with that many can’t tell the difference or don’t care.
