#42Earlier quoted context omitted.
Google only allows you to post videos of the right races acting violently. That's why I watched the videos of Kyle in Kenosha on YouTube, but you can't watch this mob of black people attack an Asian man. Whatever, thanks to #StopAsianHate now we're all well aware that most attacks on Asians are from blacks Ok ban me for my wrongthink @dang
I've never seen anyone get banned for any sort of political debate on this site. This is not reddit; you won't get banned for "incorrect opinions."
This aged poorly. Ironically, I've never seen anyone get banned on reddit for incorrect opinions

#43The title doesn't specify the perpetrator is white and doesn't mention white supremacy. It can only mean one thing, the elephant in the room, black-on-asian violence. If someone saw the video, can you please confirm my hunch?
Does black-on-asian violence have some kind of special status in comparison to black-on-any-other-skin-color violence?
Sure, let me try to explain.
1. Just like Asians have been the "model minority," Blacks are treated as the opposite. There's a lot of resentment going one way, and a lot of "what did you hit me for?" going the other way.
2. There's a lot of Asians (especially those from overseas) who don't understand the historical context, and aren't privy to empathy or compassion when they're being targeted. This dynamic isn't something that's new. When I grew up in NYC in the 80s, it was like Chinese immigrants were fair game. The poorer Chinese immigrants were the only folks who other groups had any "power" over. In turn, it's been really difficult educating my own relatives about this, and the prejudice that they may have. It's sad, and I understand them.
3. The matter is something that has caused real rifts in the AAPI communities. Asians as a group are not uniformly affluent, and the folks who live in inner-city neighborhoods feel as if the "boba Asians" don't understand them. It's these poorer Asians who are subjected to the brunt of the violence and prejudice.
4. There's a fair bit of talk these days in some of my circles that there's a divide-and-conquer thing going on.

> It can only mean one thing, the elephant in the room, black-on-asian violence Is there anywhere I can read about this elephant in the room? I'm not sure why the label is important here; is the implication that black people are ideologically motivated to attack Asians?

It's what some would call Coulter's Corollary:
>Named after a 2015 tweet from provocative conservative political commentator, Ann Coulter, Coulter's Law states that the longer it takes the news media to identify a mass shooter in the United States, the less likely it is to be a white male.

It is critically important in a political climate where one side is using the spectre of white supremacy as a political cudgel. When a complicit media makes a consistent effort to paint a false picture. This censorship is not an isolated incident. News articles regularly leave out the perpetrator's race unless it's white. Reddit regularly deletes and locks threads on inconvenient articles/videos such as this, including on default subs. Right leaning sources are effectively forbidden from wikipedia and stackexchange. A dangerous narrative is being manufactured across the social, news, and entertainment media sphere.

I don't see how it's any more of a dog whistle than to mention the race of the victim in the title, regardless of the race of the perpetrator.

#47This is common to the point BART in SF started to censor surveillance videos of vicious attacks because it would "create a racial bias against minorities". [1] If attacks don't fit the prevailing political narrative, they're buried immediately and sometimes covered up completely. [1] https://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2017/07/09/bart-withholdin...
Sadly, doing this might only further perpetuate the racial biases people already hold; only now they're imbued with the feeling that the government is trying to suppress the truth because the situation is so bad. And in this case, they'd be right. Not a great situation...
One way to fight these biases is to remind ourselves that it’s a very small percentage of any demographic that commits violent crimes. It might be more useful, then, to say “99% of X people are never violent versus 99.2% of Y people.”

The label is important because the media has been going on about anti-asian hate crimes and "#AsianLivesMatter", while blaming white supremacy. Of course the violence is actually by blacks (who are somehow immune to all criticism). The pattern of black-on-anything violence isn't unusual, but of course any un-PC facts like FBI crime statistics are buried in the media and on places full of liars like HN.

Discrimination and racism against Asian Americans is something that gets flagged a lot on HN in my experience.
But then again, discrimination and racism posts in general are something that gets flagged a lot on HN so it's not surprising.
