Why are there so many attacks on Asian Americans from one specific race?

[grasping the after wind]

Actually that only "proves" that Asians have not been targeted as consistently and as long as blacks.

Targeted by whom? Other blacks?

He's not the only person with a similar reaction. How much data is necessary?

Considerably more than a handful of anecdotes and a posting history that screams prejudice.

I remember when Rodney King was beaten, and the riots that ensued; a large number of rioters went to the Asian business in their communities and destroyed them. It is common for Asians to own most of the Stores and shops in poor black communities, and there is often resentment because of this

I think it's because they extract the money of the neighborhood without offering any jobs to that same neighborhood. Well, sometimes they hire a black dude to take out the trash and clean the grease traps on the deep fryer. It's disrespectful to take from a community without adding anything to it.

Seems to me when dealing with violence by police, anecdotes are the only evidence or data that seem to matter.

I agree it is extremely disrespectful to take without contributing.

If I invest my life savings into a community in order to start a business where one does not exist, I am not taking from that community, I am now an investor of that community; I am now a part of that community. If I choose to only hire my family to work my business, or my friends whom I trust and will not fight for higher wages, that is my right. I am contributing to that community by offering a service to everybody that is close to their home so they don’t have to go far out of town to buy or receive the service I offer; IOW that community is much better off with me and my business there than they would be if I were not. I do not owe anybody else a job; if anybody has a problem with that, let them invest their life savings to open up their own business and hire the people I refuse to hire.

Targeted by whom? Other blacks?

By American law and jurisprudence, for instance. As an example, there were never specific laws in the US that relegated Asians to generational slavery. There was never a Supreme Court decision that explicitly stated no Asian had any rights that a white man was obligated to observe.

Plessy v Ferguson did not include Asians.

Asians got a pass in most state anti-miscegenation laws, whereas blacks were explicitly called out in them. The "one drop rule" was never applied to Asians.

We don't have records of white mobs burning down any Chinatowns into the 20th century.

Your first link states this:

The nature and characteristics of victims, offenses, offenders, and situational conditions of hate crimes against Asian Americans largely remain unknown.
​

I didn't waste my time with the other.

You do realize that your position here invalidates your OP ?

So ... it's either believe your anecdotes, believe the studies that have been done, or believe that nobody knows ...

That sounds very much like an anecdotal observation. How ironic.

It's your right but it doesn't make you part of the neighborhood when neither you nor your employees live. You are more like a parasite than an investor in the neighborhood

Okay. I'll edit my post. But notice they quit suppression of Asian economic self-sufficiency even before Jim Crow.

Dang, all those westerns portraying Chinese laying down the tracks were actually black? Hollywood, Heh...

A. A lot of workers laying rails across the nation actually were black from the east coast into the Great Plains. All of the rails laid in the South prior to the Civil War were by slaves, and at some point all the major railroads used slave labor.

B. That all you got?

 

[Desk trauma]

Can we count Hiroshima as a hate crime against Asians? I wonder how much that would skew the numbers.

Operation meeting house would pump the numbers up more.

 

[iluvatar5150]

I'm curious as to in which cities these crimes are most predominant. Black on black crimes continue to skyrocket in already out of control Chicago, Baltimore, and St. Louis. 'Criminal reform' is playing a role, for sure.

Crime isn't "out of control" in Chicago.

Additionally, any rise in crime in Baltimore would undoubtedly involve "black on black" crimes since 2/3 of our population is black.

Being outraged at visible racist material being taught at a school when that person saw it is mostly considered a typically normal response. How is that anecdotal?

Had to look that one up.

It’s tragic that the details of the bombing campaign against Japan has been so over shadowed by its finale.

• What does that have to do with the thread topic, which is the alleged (and refuted) assertion that Asian Americans are being disproportionately attacked by African Americans?
• You are telling me that "Being outraged at visible racist material being taught at a school when that person saw it is mostly considered a typically normal response." That is the epitome of an anecdote. No names. No numbers. No evidence. Just a bald assertion. A story from one person.

How many people are outraged? What is the character of their outrage? What ages, sex, education, income level, ethnicity, work, etc. do these people have? How does their reaction vary in relation to these qualifiers? And so on. Provide that kind of information, that is typical of any social study, and you no longer have an anecdote. You have something meaningful.
