For many Americans, a 21-year-old white man has become the face of anti-Asian violence that has swept the country over the past year, but that impression is misleading. Robert Long is accused of murderng eight people, including six Asian American women, at three Atlanta, GA “health spas” last week. The self-described sex addict has NOT been charged with committing as hate crime, despite demands in the Asian community to do so. Long Long has told police he launched his killing spree to eliminate sexual “temptation,” not to target the Asian community.
In New York City, where anti-Asian hate crime soared nearly nine-fold in 2020 over the year before, only two of the 20 people arrested last year in connection with these attacks were white, according to New York Police Department data analyzed by the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism. Eleven were African Americans, six were white Hispanics and one was a Black Hispanic.
A hate crime is defined by the FBI as a criminal offense motivated by bias against the victim’s race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, ethnicity, gender or gender identity. While historically whites have been responsible for most hate crimes reported to the FBI, the arrest data from New York shines a light on a sensitive topic in the Asian American community — that attacks on Asians are often carried out by people of color.
It is becoming increasingly obvious that the left leaning press has no problem with specifically describing the perpetrators as "white", but will almost never mention the ethinicity of a person of color, and that goes for all negative stories in the news. For example, all victims in the recent Colorado shooting were white, but one would be hard pressed to learn that the perpetrator in that crime is of Middle Eastern descent. Of course, there is really nothing new about this kind of anti-Caucasian bias. Case in point; the press often described Hispanic American George Zimmerman in the Travon Martin case as being "white", and falsely accused Caucasian Richard Jewell as the "Boston Bomber". More recently 16-year-old, Nicholas Sandmann was on a field trip to D.C. with his class from Covington Catholic High School in Kentucky when he was taped wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat after an anti-abortion rally where he was falsely accused of getting into a racially charged confrontation with an American Indian Native American activist. Later video surfaced clearly showing that THEY were the ones being violently attacked. Sandmann sued The Washington Post for $250M and recently settled for an undisclosed amount.
Watch the video below of comedienne/actress Margaret Cho proclaiming to race-baiting TMZ "journalist" Harvey Levine that she is "affraid to leave her home", but really loved watching the viral video of that elderly Asian woman in San Francisco turning the tables on a "white guy" assailant.
