The gunman in the other night’s shooting deaths of 8 people, including 6 Asians, said he was motivated by a sexual addiction. That didn’t stop the politicians from immediately jumping on race as a factor. Kamala Harris even thought it was a great idea to air our dirty laundry in front of the Irish Prime Minister yesterday.
China has even jumped into the act with an editorial in the Global Times pointing the finger at President Trump:
Former US President Donald Trump and his “toxic” political influence may easily be identified as the culprits for the rising anti-Asian wave in the US, with the most recent one involving shootings that killed eight people, among which six were Asians, in Atlanta-area massage parlors. But there are more accomplices.
There has been a growing movement among the press to try and push the blame for crime against Asians onto white supremacists. Many of theseĀ reports fail to mention the race of the attacker and leave it up to the reader to assume it was a white perpetrator. This is simply meant to tie all racism to white supremacy, which they think is linked to Trump.
In any case, our own politicians are handing clubs to foreign governments in order to beat us with.
