Man this whole s*** frustrating lmao, wtv not the first time Pakistani people have had people misconstrue the news/media & take control of the narrative only to belittle or try to besmirch their good names. F***ing cockroaches.

Yeah I get it - I'm white from Canada but my fiance is from Pakistan and I've learned a lot from her. It's common among my family to not recognize South Asia and South Asian people as Asian. Seeing people react how they did was actually reassuring to me and not at all meant to come at you.

On-topic, this is f***ed and they're pretty much guaranteed to re-offend. They seemed to have absolutely no regard for this mans body (I saw the video) and it was horrifying how little moral compass they had.

This event was sadly racialized the moment that right-wing propagandists got their hands on the video

Like, it’s not at all a black or white thing, nor is it an Asian-hate rhetoric at this point (even though Pakistanis ARE Asian).

It’s a tragic story of how an innocent man was robbed his life by some misguided & unfortunately, evil, youth.

Spot on man. No hatred or anything towards the Asian community whatsoever I have nothing but support for them. It’s just a tragic incident that took place and an innocent man lost his life. No need to weaponize a narrative that doesn’t fit the bill is what I was stating.

What are the chances that they commit crime again?

it's actually frightening how some parents don't realize the importance of teaching morality at such a young age. when teenagers go through rebellion, the danger of that phase (i believe) is directly impacted to how guided they were as a child to be able to understand right and wrong on a wide spectrum

Now it’s about how these two got a slap on the wrist for murder

when people think "Asian" and the vast majority of "Asians" who have been victimized this past year, they aren't thinking of Indians, Pakistanis, Russians, etc

Pakistanis aren't being targeted as Asians

Why’d you say russia?

Some Russians are technically Asian

I wonder who they ratted on to get out of all that cause that's wild. That's a complete failure by the justice system. These idiots should rot in jail

most of Russia is in asia

77% of the country is located in asia

yea also I think it’s the biggest country by landmass thick boi

A lot of Russian ethnic groups are found in Asia + the country of Russia itself is 3/4 in Asia lmaooo.

Something U.S fam doesn’t know, is that A LOT of Russians are Muslims as well.

I’m talking specifically the “Stan” countries that broke from the USSR (Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, etc).

Important to note that Afghanistan and Pakistan are not included among them as Russian-ethnicity affiliated, as they’re more Indo-Turkic/Persian^^

A notable Russian Muslim would be Khabib Nurmegamadov, from Dagestan.

Apparently this wasn’t even the first time the older one tried some s*** like this

I never said anything remotely close to that .. tf are you talking about

no black people are not racist, they are victims of systemic racism obviously

those specific comments (that you can't point out that asian people were victims) are literally comments that white supremacists say when racist incidents occur, that's my point. nothing more

of course buddy has to start reaching because the logic isnt there lol

if they haven't been branded that way they should be. also you're the same poster who I've seen numerous times talking about how asian people "worship white culture" etc etc

I know exactly what type of time YOURE on lol

sure, media is trying to paint a narrative that black people are solely the aggressors? thats f***ed up, inaccurate, should be called out because its racist in and of itself

now how tf does that imply that a person cant point out "hey this is another instance of violence against an asian person, which is concerning because of the recent frequency of the incidents"

Thread turned into arguing if Russians are asians

Damn they got a slap on their wrist for stealing a car at gun point and killing the owner in process

Whole justice system is trash

But they weren’t. You know that and you know why. You were initially trying to make it appear as if I stated that south Asians don’t experience racism at all until I called you out on that. Now you’re trying to insinuate that I’m racist because I made you look stupid .

Also, that latter part of your post isn’t some type of “own” or “burn”. Most Asians are white worshippers and I have no issue in acknowledging that . When I initially made that statement, I was moreso speaking about East Asians, but the shoe still fits for South Asians as well.
