The Democrats have alienated Asian-Americans with policies like affirmative action for years.
COVID comes along and despite the media trying to play up violence against Asians early on, it fizzled out because nothing was really happening. But somehow now, two years after COVID hit the US, it's all about Asians being attacked because of it and how the Democrats will protect them with legislation. Now that a Democrat is president and they need to be able to push their regressive policies without Asians calling them out for it.
And people are going to fall for it.
Never let a crisis go to waste and all that.
At the end of the day the game is not about truth, helping people, equality, racism it is about power. Power that the left can use to mention control, power for asians. Now they can claim privileged status along with other "oppressed" minorities.
As soon as asians get their society bonuses that they've craved for so long they will throw whites under the buss. They will not care that most asian hate crimes are done by black people, that asian hate crimes are very low or that, relative to the population percentage, asians are a greater threat to asians then whites.
I can guarantee you that when the news broke about a white guy killing asian girls a lot of asians were all to happy.
