Something I'm seeing more and more that bothers me...

Black people assaulting Asians.

Is it racial? Maybe.

Are they criminals? Damn right they are.

Being a POC does not give someone the "right" to assault others. Period.

1. Nobody should be assaulting anybody, for racial or other reasons,

which goes without saying.

2. Exactly my point.

3. How can it not be racial?

If every instance of any white person assaulting another non-white person gets categorized as "Racist" or a "hate crime", then why the double standard?

In the DU universe, EVERYTHING has a racial aspect to it. EVERYTHING. Where have you been?

4. This has been happening to orthodox Jews for a while now.

On the east coast.

Its a difficult subject to discuss at DU.

6. Wasn't there a mass shooting by one or two black people at a kosher store?

I vaguely remember something like that.

7. Jersey City, 2019

The perps were black supremacists. Could have been a lot worse.

Most of the anti-Semitic incidents in New York have not been perpetrated by jihadists or far-right extremists, but by young African-American men, Mr. Greenblatt said. Local leaders said that phenomenon grows out of tension in areas where longstanding African-American and Jewish communities have been squeezed by gentrification.

“You have this mixture of African-Americans and Hasidic people, and then you have gentrification,” said Gil Monrose, an African-American pastor at Mt. Zion Church of God 7th Day who lives in Crown Heights. “All of this is colliding in Crown Heights and it leads to young people committing crimes where they live.”

“Sometimes people want to blame different groups for the fact that they are being priced out of the neighborhood, but the Jewish community is not to blame for that because the Jewish community is being priced out too,” he said. “That’s why they went to Jersey City.”

5. Korean-owned businesses were looted and burned during the Rodney King riots

And they had nothing to do with Rodney King. But they were conveniently located and easy targets

It's a similar situation with elderly Asians in the Chinatowns of SF/Oakland/NYC. Easy prey for violent assholes.
