Covid 'hate crimes' against Asian Americans on rise

excerpt:

"Why is this happening?

These incidents are best explained by the "widespread omission" of Asian Americans within cultural conversations, according to Amanda Nguyen, an activist and the founder of the Rise civil rights not-for-profit organisation.

Although the Asian population grew faster than other major groups in the last US census, the community's stories are not widely covered in the media and its concerns are not polled by political parties, Ms Nguyen told the BBC.

Some federal agencies do not even include the Asian American and Pacific Islander community in their definitions of racial minorities, she notes.

Ms Nguyen says that the people attacking Asian Americans since the pandemic began "can't really differentiate and don't care if we are X, Y or Z".

"They have made us a scapegoat to enact their violence."

For Ms Nguyen, the more visibility anti-Asian crimes receive, the better. She notes that laws can help solve the problem, but the US needs a cultural shift as well.

"We are in a moment of reckoning right now," Ms Nguyen adds. "We have been systematically erased on every single level and people can start to combat that by educating themselves about us.""

 

Trump made public statements that he was just trying to be factually accurate by calling the coronavirus the China virus because it came from China. He also rabble-roused students at a rally in AZ by referring to it by various pejorative names such as Kung Flu, which, apparently to Trump, is also an honest effort by him to be factually accurate.

Such remarks coming from the national megaphone of a president establish an atmosphere for blaming a particular group of people for the virus. It can reinforce whatever prejudice people may have already harbored toward such groups, particularly ones that are prone to becoming easy targets for frustration because they are perceived as shadowy entities because they previously haven't been recognized by the general public, media, and government as much as other groups.

 

The narrative Trump created about the election being stolen from him is another example of how a president can shape the atmosphere of public opinion into a detriment. The narrative energized his based who believed it without evidence and violently vented its frustration on the members of Congress and Capitol police. Like his remarks about the coronavirus, Trump could use the cheap excuse that he was simply making an honest effort to be factual that (in his mind) the election was stolen from him.

Trump didn't create all of the preceding frustration harbored by white people who felt they were being left behind after the Great Recession. He cultivated a simmering white grievance, exacerbated it to the point of being pathological, and ultimately turned it into a riot at the Capitol.

 

At least now I don't have to worry when I wake up every morning that there is a raving lunatic with the launch codes.

 

I would think so because if his characterization of the Covid virus.

 

A goofball event occurred at Trump's party at Mar-a-Lago when he was meeting with the leader of Japan. The dictator of N. Korea (the one that Trump later said he fell in love with) launched a missile over Japan to disrupt Trump's party. The Secret Service was fumbling around trying to secure the nuclear duffel bag. The name of an agent that appeared on his phone was posted on the web after it was accidentally caught by a partygoer who took some photos during the scramble.

Melding the nuclear football and the leader of Japan with many partygoers at Trump's Mar-a-Lago was a foolish way to conduct business.

 

But Trump has to have his parties.

A photo was posted on the web on the day of the nuclear football incident showing Trump sitting with his eyes glazed over staring off to inifinity. It was like he was in Heaven with all the party activities going on around him in what should have been a serious meeting with a foreign dignitary in a safe and secure location.

This is the Trump who promised during the 2016 campaign that he would never leave the White House because too much work needed to be done because of alleged damage by Obama who Trump said played too much golf.

 

And Donnie Jr...."I know how hard my father worked....he only played golf 360 times..." Picking on Biden for going home .... How many millions was spent on Donnie's golf dates in security and transport? Plus he is a hacker. He never said how well he actually played......probably lies on his score card, too...

 

The republican party is lily white, and their population has been imploding faster than any other on the planet for over half a century, and Romney is counting on Mormons becoming a majority. Fundamentalism kills more people than cancer, and the introduction of the cellphone and AI are speeding up their rapid demise. Republicans respect survival of the fittest idiot.

 

They're conservatives, but I haven't quite figured out what it is they are conserving. Other than their money and power.
