It's interesting that this picked up under Biden. I think these are planned attacks so that the Chinese Communist Party and their sympathizers here: e.g., Dems, can start using accusations of racism as a cudgel against opposition to Biden's bedding them.

 

About 50,000 Americans died in the war against Japan. About 50,000 died in the war against North Korea. About 50,000 died in the war against North Viet Nam. During these wars, race based hatred was fomented by some. OTOH, my family has been blessed with the friendship of Americans who obviously have Asian heritage.

A few years back, I met three old Ladies who had kind words for my dear sister. As a going away present, they presented her with a vase with colorful paper flowers. It was a work of art.

Many years later I learned where those ladies had learned to make so much out of so little. When they were little girls, they gathered scraps to use as best they could. They had been taken from their homes and placed in a place called Manzanar.

Lest we forget...

 

Just read an article about the man who attacked an Asian-American woman in Midtown Manhattan, which article says he made anti-Asian statements toward her. At the end, the article mentions the gunman in the Atlanta area killing eight people, including six Asian-American women (and apparently two Caucasian-Americans, which is seldom mentioned in this context). Then the article mentions rallies calling for an end to anti-Asian violence. However, there is no mention of the fact that law enforcement in the Atlanta area has found no racial hate element in the Atlanta killings. Media does not mind still spinning it that way, though.
