I don't expect much to come of this in terms of disillusioning Asian Americans from BLM. I think the media at large will paint it as a white people problem and if the blacks are doing it than the whites are surely involved, rubbing their hands in the evil way that they do.
Your cynicism is well-deserved. The asian people leading the charge are very much interested in the pro-asian aspect and not the pervasiveness of violence in black communities and its impact on society as a whole. You won't see this lead to any kind of reciprocity on behalf of asians toward eliminating the stigma against whites to move beyond racial politics.
You're seeing them use this as leverage to shuffle the progressive stack to put asians higher up. Essentially "we'll call out black violence from a POC perspective unless you gibs me dat". And optically, it's very effective because asians in America commit less violence and the crimes being highlighted right now are against the elderly and women.
Kinda sorta. They know that joggers are at the top of the oppression totem since they can be used and know they can't specifically call them out due to that AND the fact that Asians tend to do better than whites in white majority countries so it's like walking on eggshells covered in glass. Plus Asian communities are VERY VERY insular, ethno/culture centric and tight knit so most don't even think to factor in white people since they're the out group as well, a friendlier and much more nicer out group to deal with but still an out group. I've NEVER met an foreign born Asian who truly liked joggers, especially Asians who live(d) in a city environment for more than a few months. It's mostly the American born women who get propagandized through media and jogger music who hang around them until they either ditch them due to finding a new fuck hole, violence happens (usually DV) or get them caught up with the cops which ruins their lives.....There's a reason the majority of Asian countries have extremely strict immigration laws with majority public support, they aren't stupid or suicidaliy altruistic.
It's been going on for a while in the Bay. Fusako Petrus, 86, raped and beaten to death. Yik Oi Huang, 89, beaten and left for dead in a park, died of her injuries a year later. One year, I remember at least half a dozen attacks on elderly Asians on SF Muni buses. There was also a video of a group of black men beating and robbing a group of elderly Chinese on a street corner in Chinatown.
The result is always the same: Asians must mend the relations between the two communities. Here is an article where two Chinese men were killed, yet the onus is on the Asian community to apologize for its anti-blackness.
