The Truth About Attacks On Asians
14th April 2021
Recently, there has been a drumbeat of expressed concern by the left — the Democrats and their ever faithful messengers, the press — over a rise in hate crimes committed against Asians. The shooting in Atlanta, in which six of the nine victims were Asian women, brought on a rush to declare this an anti-Asian hate crime. It turned out, however, that the fact that a majority of the victims were Asians had nothing to do with the shooter’s motivation. More recently, the brutal attack, caught on video, of a man shoving an elderly Asian woman to the ground, kicking her several times, and shouting “you don’t belong here” was, indeed, a hate crime. So leftists were palpably anxious to declare it a symptom of their go-to faux bogey, white supremacy. But the facts revealed that the anti-Asian assailant was a black man and a convicted murderer (of his mother!) out on parole. (It is inconvenient for this perfidious white supremacist narrative that blacks have committed a sizeable number of the assaults against Asians.)
