Stabbing of Asian-American 2-Year-Old and Her Family Was a Virus-Fueled Hate Crime: Feds

Jesus. Words matter and the president needs to stop being a petty asshole and deal with this crisis like a mature adult.
Several more attempted murders on the pumpkin in chiefs list then.
I hope the family and the person who intervened and got stabbed for their trouble are able to recover.

Hopefully the toddler and family survives.
Not surprised after Trump admin wanted to call it the chinese virus.

this shit has me legitimately fear for my elderly parents' lives whenever they go out.

Oh, really, law enforcement agent? Is it crazy the bigoted beliefs that individuals hold onto? Please, tell us more.
I mean, Covid also brought out most of the closet racists on era too. Even sadder majority denies it when being called out.
There was a dude in the official thread calling Chinese peeps barbaric then tried back peddling saying no no I meant their markets are barbaric! LOL...

Yup, my mom practices passive aggressive Filipino-exceptionalism and just can't help but make racist jokes constantly. Somehow she still thinks other racists see her as different.
The denial part has been on this forum long before Covid was in the scene. It was like this in the old forum too and many of the members migrated over here.
So how do those criminals think that virus works? That Asians just "get" and spread it? I mean how can you even think that in a world where the internet and news exists? But it's probably just a false excuse because they are simply racists.
I would not be surprised at all if non-Asian people with dark hair get discriminated against because people are stupid. Anyone who has played any part in trying to push the "Chinese virus" narrative deserves to feel guilty. All it does is push unhinged racists to try to attack innocent people.
Why can't minorities in the US just get along. Don't we have to deal with enough bullshit as it is. Why we gotta hate on each other like that.
God fuck this. Fucking toddlers man. This fucker should never see the light of day again.
Sorry but how? This asshole seems to be Mexican and the Corona Virus would have happened with or without Trump. Obviously he's inciting racism against Asian people, but the surge in racism against Asian people is happening without his doing, too. Case in point literally every other country that's not the US.
Racism is a disease.
I can't imagine the trauma that family will have to face and the fear any time they go outside again. I can only hope it's something that doesn't stick with the 2-year-old.

Really fucked up, especially going after the children. It makes me concerned for my kid's safety as my son is Chinese and my daughter Caucasian/Japanese.
Add stupidity to these people and you got a terrible recipe for disaster. They probably think that yeah, Asian people just get it and spread it.
Growing up in the US, my wife got told to "go back to China" all the time. Even little kids stretching their eye lids as a gesture. This shit starts early.
She's Japanese.
No they can't tell, and even if you confront them they'll say "they're all the same anyway".

Are you joking?
Maybe you can prove that this particular person didn't literally hear Trump emphasize how this is a Chinese virus, but good luck proving that this person didn't hear it from someone who heard it from Trump.
Yeah, that won't happen. Trump is a piece of shit. This situation is so fucked up.
Yeah, there's always lurking this subtle feeling that you're just never going to be accepted fully and that you'll always be seen as inferior. Even IF you manage to accomplish anything, "[you] are imagined as the human equivalent of stainless-steel countertops: serviceable and interchangeable and blandly high-end " to quote Cathy Hong's Minor Feelings: An Asian American Reckoning .
Hahaha, I feel you.
My family is Taiwanese, and other than the whole TEAM TAIWAN NUMBER ONE thing, I absolutely fucking loathe nonAsians who LOVE bringing up Taiwan (and Hong Kong) as a way to cover for their shitty racism. Like, ninja PLEASE, I know that you can't actually tell the difference between a Taiwanese person and a Chinese person, and I know you're racist AF to Asian Americans. Stop pretending to use a political issue you don't even fucking understand as a way to be openly racist.
Every time there's a thread about Taiwan/China relationships, it highlights why so many Asian Americans think other racists see "their" group as different/special. It's because they're dumb enough to believe the racists pretending like it matters as an excuse to be racist.
Yep. Also, I suspect half the people who say "China covered it up" and echo other things like "China should be held responsible" to be bigoted against Chinese people. Yes, this includes other Asians.
Why would I need to prove that? Why would I need to prove that this person didn't hear it from someone who heard it from Trump? Usually it's the other way round when you claim something like that. Racist resentment against Chinese people is spiking all around the world. Trump isn't the only one doing it. Not everything has to be about him. This is a really pointless discussion to have anyway though, believe what you want.
Yes, stupid racist people get stupid racist ideas in their head. That's true. But one stupid racist has millions of people watching him every day as he tries to deflect blame from his massive screw-up that's going to get hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of people killed. Why you're going out of your way to defend him is beyond me. What is even your point? That he's not causing an increase of hate-crimes against Asian people? Noone said he's solely to blame, but saying he doesn't play a part is ignorant.
This is West Texas. You'd be surprised by the percentage of Trump supporting Mexicans that live out here.
Doesn't help when you try reporting them and nothing happens. Granted, this was a while ago so I'm hoping the mod team has gotten less lenient.
Stay safe out there people.
Before the virus, there were lots of negative threads about China that allowed some folks plausible deniability. It was transparent to me though.
Well they never learned the first time either, they just got bored and stopped doing it; they weren't stopped.
"trump isn't responsible for racial violence that he himself enflames" is certainly a take and hill to die on.
why do you think the most powerful person in the country pivoting to "it's the China virus" isnt partly responsible for racially motivated violence that happens afterward?
Please do tell us about other world leaders who are inciting hatred against asian people by calling this virus the "chinese virus" and claiming China is responsible for it. Waiting for your answer, I'm sure you must have a long list of other world leaders behaving like Trump.
Divide and conquer, to the benefit of white supremacy.

I know. It just infuriates me that he's more concerned with creating panic. He doesn't care about America. And that infuriates me that people are conned by this guy. Or have blinders on because it suits their interests.
Especially when he is dead set on exporting the term to other countries like with what happened with the G7.
So we excuse his behavior because....everyone else is doing it?
Unless the dude says "I stabbed them because Trump incited me" we will never know for sure, but the timeline sure presents a strong argument that Trump's increasingly racist rhetoric helped cause this. Trumps tweets in the days leading up to the stabbing were especially racist.
I wonder if the decision to rule this a hate crime is what finally got Pompeo to stop calling it the "wuhan virus".

Note that on March 12th Trump gave his "Foreign Virus" speech, and the stabbing occurred on March 14th.
According to one New York City medical social worker, racism is also rampant in the health-care system as Asian-American doctors and nurses struggle to care for patients who don't want to be touched.
Bruh if I'm an asian doctor and you tell me you don't wanna be treated by an asian person can I literally just walk away? That's what I'd do...say no more fam...good luck.
