Steve, at the risk of appearing to condone or discount thuggish behavior of ANY kind, those numbers are so small they’re statistically insignificant. There were 1,200,000 assaults in the US last year... 122 were against Asians so we have an Asian hate crime spree? 2 going to 6 is a 300% increase but it’s laughable to call that a trend in cities of millions of people.
Again, 1 crime against anyone is 1 too many. Especially sickening are the attacks on the elderly. But I just get “war on women” nonsense political agenda vibes here again. I’ve been wrong before and I’m sure some handful of ignoramus’ do have it out for Asians a tick more than they always did. But based on those numbers it an an infinitesimal handful.
