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. 🙄

It's also annoying because it's just wrong.

"A misread of a frequently cited study from this year, published in the American Journal of Criminal Justice, likely contributed to the spread of erroneous narratives, Wong said. The study, which examined hate crime data from 1992 to 2014, found that compared to anti-Black and anti-Latino hate crimes, a higher proportion of perpetrators of anti-Asian hate crimes were people of color. Still, 75 percent of perpetrators were white."

And no one wants to talk about how huge anti Black racism is in the Asian community. You'll have Asian Americans talk about how proud they are that their relatives were rooftop Koreans during the LA Riots, but won't even mention how the LA Riots started because an Asian store owner shot a Black girl and killed her for no reason.

&gt; "There's just something so powerful about these visual images so that no matter what the social science might say, people believe their eyes and especially the images that get played on repeat now," he said.

Every time people cite these studies I can find the bullshit language in 30sec. It conflates "hate incidents" like yelling slurs to people getting beat within an inch of their life.

"You aren't being violently assaulted but if you did it's your own fault."

I don't believe in collectively punishing any community for some attacks they weren't involved in, but saying it's annoying to hear people complain about getting randomly beaten is stupid.

Iono, these stats always seem pretty fucked. Like how in the past year people point to anti semitism being on the rise, but when you look into it you see that some of the incidents reported include things like people saying "from the river to the sea" (and granted a not insignificant number of people genuinely see that as a call to violence) but even stuff like waving a Palestinian flag.
