Daniel, I believe that the current situation is a result of there being five major ethnic groups living in one country. There are bound to be disagreements, and even violence sometimes, given the huge spectrum of views represented in this country. I also believe that the pandemic has driven many people crazy, and that they are literally now "at the end of their ropes." I believe that the current attacks against Asians are actually attacks against the cultural norms that allowed the pandemic to occur in the first place.

Your insane to believe all African Americans are experiencing emotional hatred on the national scale. The LA riot the chinese were fighting off Mexicans, Puerto rican not african american that was in 1992 really. Don't I have bigger problems with the Yakuza (Japanese: ヤクザ, IPA: [jaꜜkɯza]), also known as gokudō (極道, "the extreme path", IPA: [gokɯꜜdoː]), are members of transnational organized crime syndicates originating in Japan. The Japanese police, and media by request of the police, call them bōryokudan (暴力団, "violent groups", IPA: [boːɾʲokɯꜜdaɴ]), while the yakuza call themselves ninkyō dantai (任侠団体/仁侠団体, "chivalrous organizations", IPA: [ɲiŋkʲoː dantai]). The English equivalent for the term yakuza is gangster, meaning an individual involved in a Mafia-like criminal organization.[2] The yakuza are known for their strict codes of conduct, their organized fiefdom nature, and several unconventional ritual practices such as yubitsume, or amputation of the left little finger.[3] Members are often described as males, wearing "sharp suits" with heavily tattooed bodies and slicked hair.[4] This group is still regarded as being among "the most sophisticated and wealthiest criminal organizations"

Every time I did though, I would be ridiculed by people in my schools (Part of it to do with my age as well as I'm still not even 18 yet). Maybe I am still too young, but I wanna do something where I can create a group or movement for all people of different backgrounds and races to come together and talk about racism and you know, create something to abolish racism for everyone. I'm writing this because I almost always hear about racism against us Blacks, and more light needs to be shed on racism against other races.

We scream and run towards this man's house who opens the door with a bat in his hand telling us to run. When we get there he yells at them and closes the door and locks it. He asks us if we are okay.

@@1ledluverjlp We are still missing the fact that he is elderly & couldn't defend himself, in which is why we was targeted. He did not pick anyone his own age & size, and can easily overpower the weak. My argument is that he selected this person out of ethnic basis & began attacking and left him assuming he was unconscious if not dead. He may be upset that Asian folk may have carried the virus in & wanted to do something about it. Ethnic Pre-meditation

[@1ledluverjlp]

@@MAG320 none of that makes any difference on whether he should receive a murder charge or a manslaughter charge. Any judge or jury will see that the guy didn't make sure he was dead and just walked away having no real idea what his condition was showing that it was not his goal to kill. The most that can be proven is the guy saw the old man on the street and just decided to shove him.

I am grateful that Daniel Dae Kim highlighted that non-black ppl aren't the only ones who have been anti Asian. Also, I like the mentioning of the "model minority" stereotype. I am a black woman and I don't want anyone discriminated against or harmed because of their race. It's also very silly that people have directed hate towards Asian people over this pandemic. All people are susceptible to illness. It isn't their fault that a virus did what viruses do! If anyone is to blame, it's the government officials.

I think it’s just as ridiculous as attacking and beating customers in a nail salon

[@cristyluv1205]

A lot of these people have just as much hate for and have exhibited violence towards the very groups of people they claim are attacking them. It’s obvious they have been blindsided. See this is the reaction of a group of people who are being newly introduced, a hands on introduction mind you, to what it feels like to be hated just because, to be the calculated target of brutality and relentless bigotry and racism. Not saying it’s right, but it’s real

[@teer5493]

@@cristyluv1205 are they newly introduced to racism and bigotry or are you ignorant in regards to the racism and bigotry they've experienced?

[@cristyluv1205]

@@teer5493 I think collectively yes, this is a new level of brutality they haven’t experienced. I just don’t remember this level of outrage and claims of hate crimes flying around when 45 was calling this “The China virus” and “Kung flu” further perpetuating violence and intimidation against AA. Videos of non blacks harassing them ,being verbally, even physically abusive. Were there not blatant subliminal go aheads to mistreat these people then? Where was this energy then? I find that since it seems to be a black person who unfortunately killed this man , it’s being heavily portrayed now as a hate crime. Bills being signed and passed for protection I get it but, I just can’t help but wonder if the perpetrator were a white kid would it be this much outrage, or would it be just another case of some stupid white kids trying to bring the knock out game back? Racism was back at a 10 the minute that man was voted into office? Where were those bills of protection against the most hated people in this country the? Before c19? Apparently it’s not just black people terrorizing Asians, but it definitely is the front page focus that has everyone’s eyes peeled IMO black people have endured an insurmountable amount of abuse from this country for hundreds of centuries, more than every racial group in this country COMBINED. The same country who’s foundation was built and cultivated by hate, racism and division is the same country signing bills of protection for a certain group that was publicly given the encouragement and ok to mistreat. I’m sure my people would like a Bill of protection against brutality of EVERY kind, but then that means acknowledgement and accountability of some kind would be mandatory now wouldn’t it? So no, I’m not ignorant to their plight. It’s relevant, but there’s more than one way to skin a cat. I think, I ask questions, I read between the lines and I analyze. So, If you feel that it’s “ignorant” , me looking deeper than what some sensationalism, lord of confusion, fear mongering addicted media is throwing out to the masses, cool that’s your prerogative. It is clear to me that ethnic groups are treated vastly different from one another in this country especially in the faces of adversity and injustice and that is one thing I am definitely not ignorant of.

my heart hurts my boyfriend's grandpa was so loved in his community and he was so kind to me. He didn't speak any english and I don't speak much Japanese but he made me feel included in his family.

[@lexylu619]

I appreciate Daniel Dae Kim highlighting that it isn’t just a Black and Asian issue. I think it’s easy to boil it down to that when in actuality I think that American society has made violence seem like the answer. This situation is absolutely terrible and we need to create a society where violence is not always the answer and people are able to access resources that help them not feel like that is the only answer. I also believe these situations can sow the seeds of prejudice within marginalized communities.
