"In a video from January, a 91-year-old person can be seen being violently pushed to the ground in Chinatown in Oakland, California. The suspect, Yahya Muslim, who is accused of two other attacks the same day, was charged with three counts of assault. A separate attack last month that was recorded on surveillance video showed Vicha Ratanapakdee, 84, being shoved to the ground in San Francisco. Ratanapakdee later died from his injuries.

Sliman Nawabi, a deputy public defender who is representing Antoine Watson, 19, in the San Francisco incident, said there is "absolutely zero evidence that Mr. Ratanapakdee's ethnicity and age was a motivating factor in being assaulted.""

And yet if it was white on Asian violence the media would fall all over themselves to immediately assume racism. I wonder why these situations are different? Gee lets look further in the article!

"It can have a negative impact on either side, on reinforcing the vicious stereotype of the natural Black inclinations for crime and that we're thugs," he said. "And on the other hand, alerting Asian communities or heightening their awareness about their safety and security may be sending a false signal that there is a nonexistent attempt on the part of some Black communities to target Asian brothers and sisters."



The prevalence of anti-Asian racism in black communities is well documented (see the burning of Koreatown in the LA race riots by black racists). And yet because the perpetrator in the situation is black, the media falls over themselves to make sure no one views it as a hate crime or even talks about the racial hatred that is found in so many black communities across the America. No race, gender, party or group has a monopoly on racism however it seems clear that the media can't wait to make excuses for some groups and not others.

That's pretty racist.
