Probably due to covid originally coming outta China, that definitely escalated a lot of bs hate. I was reading about a lot of asain folks getting harassed and some ppl even getting jumped last summer out here smh
Racism against Asians has been normalized and they don’t receive the same support as other groups because they are looked at as being in the same tier as whites and because Asian culture is generally passive and conflict avoiding
Ever since covid hit hate crimes against Asians have sky rocketed higher than ever before but there isn’t much media coverage or movements bringing light to these issues
Asians are the only race in America where other races commit violent crimes against them more than people of the same race
because people think they started COVID on purpose
see this is what happens when people believe in dumbass conspiracy theories

i'd say it's been getting more coverage and awareness in the last month or so and it's really f***ed up whats going on
it's because of a lot of the inflammatory rhetoric with asians and COVID and it's been said of other immigrant groups as well, it's a common stereotype on POC, for example, currently TX GOP politicians are saying undocumented people are bringing in COVID to deflect from their anti-mask policies when they have the same rates as americans and they don't even really touch the general population at all and probably wear more masks, if so
pretty much when you turn up the racist rhetoric against certain groups and blaming them for issues, violence happens and it needs to f***ing stop
behind all the dogwhistles, it's the same s***, they just want to tell immigrants racial slurs and to go back to their country
1. COVID, obviously.
2. Hate crimes overall have been rising in the past few years.
3. The media's Yellow Peril phase has been very effective.
This s*** is so f***ing heartbreaking.
These xenophobic conservatives in Washington and in the media need to suffer consequences for their actions. They incite violence then hide behind some crusty ass amendments.
F*** them. Words matter. If your conservative, f*** you forever.
