Anti-Asian violence can’t be blamed on Trump supporters (washingtonexaminer.com)
"According to the Justice Department, 27.5% of all violent crimes against Asian Americans in 2018 were committed by black people. That’s over 50,000 incidents in a single year. White criminals and Asian criminals each accounted for 24.1% of all attacks on Asians."
White people comprise 72.4% of the population. African-Americans comprise 12.6%. Proportionately, African-Americans commit violent crimes against Asians at slightly over 6.5 times the rate white Americans do.
This is what our media and the left do. They sensationalize a tiny number of very carefully selected anecdotes and rationalize away the vast number of other instances that go against their narrative. They will craft an entire narrative around that tiny number of cherry-picked examples and scream about them endlessly. One white guy shot up three Asian massage parlors and suddenly there is a wave of hate crimes against Asian-Americans from Trump supporters. Also, forget the fact that the deranged lunatic drove to three different locations in two different cities in order to specifically target only massage parlors and targeted mostly women. We also have heard no indication from him as to what his political beliefs are. He tells the police he wanted to rid the world of sexual temptation, as he apparently believes illegal sex work must have been going on there. Whether or not anything illegal actually was happening there is not important. He apparently believes it was and somehow in his twisted mind, he believes he was helping others. The media's reaction is "We know for a fact he's a Trump supporter and it was racial." The left is simply asserting his alleged motive and ignoring what he actually said.
Think about this, when was the last time you heard a Trump supporter complaining that we were letting too many Asians into the country, let alone Asian women? Do you really believe that tiny Asian women are the boogeyman that have white Trump supporters terrified?
Lastly, here is another trick the media have been using.
Reports of Asian American hate crimes rose nearly 150% in major U.S. cities last year - CBS News
Notice, they didn't say the violent crime rate against Asians rose by 150%. They say "hate crimes" because they can define what constitutes a hate crime and use that to make the numbers say whatever they want them to.
