DailyKenn.com — Elderly East Asians are victims of random attacks in San Francisco. The trend appears to be gaining steam.
The far-left media reported the trend by evoking reminders of America's WW2 internment camps. Japanese in America were known to have conspired with our nation's enemy. The camps helped contain the opposition and may have saved countless lives by averting errorist violence.
The media also expressed fears that blacks are similarly facing discrimination due to the fact that the assailants appear to be disproportionately young black males; maybe exclusively young black males.
According to sfgate.com, "More insidious is the racist desire to target Black Americans because some of the assailants, notably in the death of 84-year-old Vicha Ratanapakdee, were young Black men."
In short, elderly East Asians are being assaulted by young black males and, somehow, white people are to blame.
Anti-Asian sentiment has lingered and drastically heightened in 2020, taking on yet another virulent tone at the onset of the coronavirus pandemic. Activists and experts say that the inflammatory language, including officials referring to COVID-19 as the "China” or “Wuhan” virus, incited an increase in physical and psychological harm against Asians.
"The pattern is not new but it is now more virulent, frequent and dangerous, incited by the inflammatory and racist rhetoric of President Trump and his cronies spewed into [tweets] and the news," Minami said.
While the threat of harm continues, communities are working together on solutions. Community organizers are setting up support groups, mutual aid, community-led patrols, and volunteer walks with seniors, reports KQED. This weekend, at the beginning of the Lunar New Year, organizations in the Bay Area are holding solidarity rallies in Oakland and San Francisco.
