I’d hesitate to draw a causal link without looking at the data and disproving other hypotheses, particularly when it comes to media narratives in 2021. For example, do elderly Asians tend to carry lots of cash, making them attractive targets for criminals? In other parts of the world, what does targeted racism against a suddenly vilified minority look like? Are random racially motivated street assaults a common occurrence, and how else would we expect this sort of targeted racism to manifest? Does that match what’s happening here?

I don’t know. I know we can’t get by on feelings that are stirred by others who wish to do our thinking for us.

> suddenly vilified minority

Asian Americans have been targets of racial attacks for long before the start of coronavirus.

Name a group that hasn’t been targeted historically by anybody. I’m talking about the latest tensions.

What does that have to do with rushing the Capitol? And by what measure are you tying Capitol-rush-supporters to people that attack Asian-Americans?

Again, what does that have to do with the original question?

And are you sure that increased crime rates against Asians are coming from that same source?

I don't think you understand this situation very well.

Young black men are responsible for the recent wave of violence against Asians.

Race is the single greatest predictor of violent crime, not gun legalization, everyone knows this but unfortunately we are a society addicted to lies.
