It's actually so annoying that people consistently pit Asian Americans against African Americans and try to make it seem like Black people are super dangerous towards Asians. Likewise, it's so annoying how many of the comments are anecdotal, like my friend is Asian and he was shot by five BLACKS. 🙄

As an Asian American myself, I have certainly been on the receiving end of racist diatribe from Black people. However, I have also experienced the same with plenty of white people as well. The issue with this whole situation is that people are trying to make this a uniquely Black problem that is inherent to their race when that is obviously not the case. It's akin to people getting up in arms over Black homophobia like it's only an issue within the Black community. The Black community has its own issues, but it is stupid and quite frankly racist to hyperfocus on them when it is a problem within almost all communities.

Also, the history of any tension between AA and AA folks (oh, the abbreviations are so unhelpful here, but you know what I’m trying to say) is in part due to historical proximity in cities (see: L.A. Riots), not some inherent racial hatred. White people literally put the Japanese in internment camps during WWII, but nobody wants to talk about that… 🙃

Precisely. People don't just up and start hating people halfway across the world (for the most part), they hate their neighbors. It is nothing that is inherent to any race, people are just violent to those in proximity to them. Unless you're America, then everyone can catch these hands.
