America's Anti-Asian Pandemic | 101 East

They have been stabbed, had acid thrown at them and barred from public transport. This is now a reality for some Asian Americans bearing the brunt of increasing tensions between the United States and China.
The COVID-19 pandemic and US presidential race are creating the perfect storm, as experts warn the two countries could be heading towards a new Cold War.
As President Donald Trump blames China for the virus, two-thirds of surveyed Americans say they do not trust the country and Americans of Asian descent are increasingly being violently attacked.
101 East investigates what the battle of the superpowers means for Asian Americans.

US police doesn't understand much about "crime prevention". They won't react until someone is hurt badly or killed, or until the statistic data spikes up. So it is important to report crime even though it takes long times. Force them to document on the system.

The saddest part about all of this is the people being attacked most likely consider America their country. Some are born and raised there.

Much like how Indigenous Australians left Africa long before the color differentiation and can thus not be considered descendants of Africans. Calling them descendants centers Chinese people rather than appreciating the uniqueness of the culture, traditions and achievements of Indigenous people themselves.

This is why learning self-defence is even more important for Asians. We are perceived as being smaller and weaker and somehow racism only matters when it's directed towards Blacks. I've met many white people who downplay racism toward Asians. If you try to talk about your experiences you are instantly accused of 'playing the race card', usually by people who have little experience of being on the receiving end of racism. Well, our greatest weapons are our phones and cameras, once you show them the evidence let's see if they dare to say we're playing the race card. And white people aren't the only culprits. Black people are too but no one will talk about that since Black people must be seen as innocent victims all the time.

To ALL BLACK PEOPLE! Stop shopping at these Asian stores, stop eating at these Asian restaurants, stop buying those freaking wigs, get together and form your own wig business! Asians need Africa more than Africans need Asians. Spread the word! Leave those European loving people ALONE! PERIOD!!!

Sad Like other cultures , race and ethnicities don't have their stereotypes

[@raymondchow8722]

I have lived in Texas since 1978 and later moved to California. Racism is always there. My suggestion for Asian Americans is to live in a racist area (such as Texas) for a few years. It will help you learn how to deal with racism as you integrate into the American society. Learn how protect yourself as well find ways for you to cope with systemic racism. Even after your moved to a more racial tolerant area such as California, you still need the ability to detect racism and ways to deal with them. Don't think racism does not exist in California, people are just more polite about it.

Please please please vote, Asian-Americans! Yes there's been disappointment in the past, but this is the highest stakes in our modern history and we need every vote we can get so that they'll have to acknowledge our will. So how much do you think the pro-Trumps were paid?

[@eremophobia2001]

My sentiments exactly. Cheers.

Those Asians rooting for the orange clown are Falun Gong cultist. They think he is their American savior.

Problem is that regardless of who we vote for, the presidency will be a contest of who is more anti-Chinese in light of the Covid.

Run, run, run for office. And donate, donate, donate to get more Asian Americans to win political offices and court judge seats.

All Asian people should stand up

[@lebbeus]

It’s kind sad that in order to be accepted in America, an Asian person needs to either blend in white culture or act like black people to seem tough. What’s wrong with just being themselves? Humble, non-aggressive, respectful to others? Aren’t those universal virtues we all sought after?

[@陈颖-d1j]

It is very hard to solve the racism problem in USA. It is deeply rooted from the founding of the country. This is why Donald Trump was elected and almost re-elected. When economy is bad, it is more serious. I see no hope for the problem to be solved.

I love Asia. i lived in Japan for 3 years and I can say that they were the nicest, politest, and cleanest people ever. Shame on anyone hating others for who they were born with

[@1rasINK]

If 'seeing is believing' for most of their documentary film they did not give video evidence in stead of 'hearsay'. in that news report if you ask me what it looks to be in actuality.

[@Touyoujin]

How irony that most of those who posted about black lives matter on social media including some Asian just quiet when it comes to racism against Asian. These peps disgusted me, hypocrite, exploiting anti-racism for their own publicity and fishing likes. Respect for these people who truly fight for the course.

[@Touyoujin]

@Mohith Kanna Oh really? I don't see anyone take the death of elderly Thai American as seriously as the death of a black guy, in fact no one mentioned a thing besides some local Asian American. What make it worst, this elderly Thai lost his live while minding his own business on the street. It's hypocrite alright.

[@G0oner]

@Mohith Kanna new phenomenon? I suggest doing more research.

[@G0oner]

@Mohith Kanna do more research

[@Rachel-yz8ty]

@@Touyoujin why do you some of you guys like to drag black people into this 😐. I’m sorry that people are not taking the elderly Asians seriously but how is it our fault. I’ve seen people bringing awareness about it but I doesn’t get as much attention as the BLM movement did

[@Touyoujin]

@Mohith Kanna Gosh, so essentially you are saying that it's alright to be racist in the community and should not be taken seriously because it's coming from hooligans? as long as it's not coming from someone in a police uniform? Cases of racism against Asian isn't something new alright, it just not being spoken of or viewed in a serious manner because Asian is considered minority in the states, not spoken doesn't mean it did not exist or new and it had been on the rise. Bear in mind that all these Asian Americans too are paying their taxes and contributed to society in America. Regardless if it's coming from a police or not, racism is racism may it be Black or Asian, i never know that anti-racism only applicable / entitled only to Black. If the black can't protect themselve, let alone minorities.
