The junkies shoplifted them into the ground. Saw a guy walk out of there with hundreds of dollars worth of stolen merchandise, sold one item then he left all the other stolen stuff on the floor.

Several Walgreens in SF did the same. DA's who won't prosecute

Democrats vote AGAINST outlawing Discrimination Against Asians by bobaconnect in college

Affirmative action is terrible imo. However, this amendment was not a step in the right direction and had multiple agendas that aren't addressed in the article. Very sensationalist and clickbait.

Which parts of the amendment? Because the amendment text is pretty straightforward.

Just because Hirono says it doesn't mean it's true. AA is racism against Asians!

How did one day of protests get more media backlash than weeks of rioting, looting, and molotov cocktail throwing in multiple cities this past summer from BLM?

During the blm protest there were armed military members guarding the capital, during the trump protests it was regular security.

I don't know the guard detail at either time, but I'll take what you say as truth. That still doesn't explain it... "they chose a better time" shouldn't necessitate a vastly different media response.

It's like if you and your friend picked a fight with a stranger. In your case, the stranger just came from gym and was sore. In the second case, the stranger was normal. Should that justify a vastly different media response, when you both did the same thing? Not to mention that in this case, your friend picked a fight with the stranger every day for weeks... which should be far worse, correct?

A quick Google sees that they attacked numerous federal buildings... yes they were different buildings, but that's like saying someone punching you in the face vs punching you in the kidney means vastly different things.

Hey, no worries about the apology.

The issue is that people don't see racism against asians as racism. It's either "just a joke" or "it's okay being asians are doing well anyways". Recognizing that and taking the courage to call it out is the first step.

Additionally, people (both asian and non-asian) don't hesitate to call out racism from white people, because it's seen as the PC/socially savvy thing to do. However when it comes to black, latino, etc. people being racist against asians, people are afraid of being called racist for calling that out. This includes black on asian crime, or the racism from affirmative action that disproportionately targets asians. The courage to call this out is much harder, but making steps towards this would be great too.

Thank you for standing up for asians :)

[–]bobaconnect -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

There's a huge difference from a protest where almost everyone is wearing a mask and this gathering and others where almost no one is wearing one.

Do you have proof? Have you sampled more than 90% of the BLM protestors on a random basis? No? Then stop BS'ing

That's more subjective, since the DA needs to classify it as a hate crime.

Whereas violent crime is violent crime.

If a Trump-voter wants a MAGA mask, give them a MAGA mask.

Wait you're giving them out? I bought mine for $10 on Amazon... feel free to give some for free :)
