Going to toss my hat in here for what it is worth to the residents that rather call everyone racist than actually have a discussion. With that out of the way here is my post.
First, the Atlanta shooting is a poor example to use here. The shooter has had mental issues in the past, and a history of problems with sex addictions. He saw massage parlors as problem with his sex addiction and thought as an insane person that shooting workers there would resolve the issue. Or something. Insane people do insane things. While he shot Asian women, he also shot whites and Hispanics as well. Neither the local police nor the FBI have attributed the shooting to being racially motivated base on the history of the shooter. Trying to link what Trump said about the virus coming from China last (which was almost 8 months ago he last said) to the actions of this maniac now is disingenuous at best.
The other incident in the news with the 39 year old white homeless man, Steven Jenkins, randomly hitting a couple of elderly Asians in San Francisco has been shown to be racially motivated either. Glad he got his ass kicked for his actions by the old lady, but trying to pin the motive for his attack. Homeless people are not typically all mentally there in the first place. Again trying to blame Trump on this one is again a bit disingenuous here. I have serious doubts that this guy has any political affiliation at all let alone listening to anything from Trump. If I had to bet on the political affiliation of a random person living in San Francisco I certainly wouldn't bet that person to be a Trump follower.
As far as the narrative of crimes committed by various ethnicities, here is the FBI numbers:
Every ethnicity is more likely to be the victim of any type of crime by their own ethnicity than any other ethnicity. When it comes to victimization of other ethnicities by representation, blacks are over represented to commit more of any type of crime against other ethnicities with whites following behind. Those are the raw data facts. They don't explain why though.
I also want to point out that people, many in this forum, like to confuse tribalism and preference with racism. They are not the same. The example previous of an elderly Chinese man preferring his offspring to only marry other Chinese is not an example of racism. It is an example of tribalism though. Preference <> Racism. There is a lot of correlation between the two though. Mainly all racists have strong preference to their race, but not all people that have strong preference to their own race are racist. I know this is going to be a hard concept for some people to understand around here so unless you can get it with what I stated so far I am not going to further elaborate because it is entirely situational in nature. This is because racism by definition is either you believe a race is either superior to others, or a race is inferior to others. It doesn't need be your race that you feel that way about either.
While traditionally blacks are over-represented in all types of crime, FBI statistics show an increase against Asians and Jews lately from all over with blacks slightly increased in the crimes that others. Meaning the uptick is across the board when it comes to ethnic on ethnic crimes, but blacks right now are slightly higher in that raised uptick. Why, that is hard to postulate.
Much of the crime in America happens in big cities and big cities disproportionally are skewed to one political demographic being most of the are left. The below wiki is a bit outdated with 2009 numbers, but it is close enough to use.
en.wikipedia.org
1. St. Louis, Democrat
2. Detroit, Democrat
3. Baltimore, Democrat
4. Memphis, Democrat
5. Kansas City, Democrat
6. Little Rock, Democrat
7. Milwaukee, Democrat
8. Rockford, Democrat
9. Cleveland, Democrat
10. Stockton, Democrat
Granted, people in closer proximity to each other are more likely to cause crimes against each other. I am not putting blame specifically on the political view points of the people in a given city being the reason for crime rates of that city. That is stupid. That is like saying that the decrease of pirates on the high seas since the 1600 has a correlation to increased carbon in the atmosphere. While one can look at the two charts and see what looks to be a correlation, that doesn't make there any causality link.
Point being, the only thing that seems to have a weak causality link in the increase of crimes against Asians in the US is because of the spread of the virus being linked to China in the first place. One doesn't have to be on either side of the political isle to decide they are going to take criminal actions based on that above link. The media though loves to push the woke narrative these days. It is fanning the flames of hate from what I see from everywhere. My personal opinion is that the media is stoking more of the problem than resolving.
