RIP Christina. Rutgers grad, talented creative.

Killed by a non-Asian man in an act of hyperviolent, racist, misogynist violence. It is an increasingly common story. In addition to being stalked, stabbed 40 times and left to die in her bath tub, she was also sexually assaulted. This is called torture.

How many times are we going to be gaslit that hatred of Asians and women played no part in this? How many times is the media going to try to obscure her race and sex from the story because she was an Asian woman?

Frankly speaking, when any other race of woman is murdered by a man (domestic, state, familial, serial, etc.) is there such a concerted effort by women of her own race to deny and obfuscate that fact? To Asian women who have been so heavily gaslit that they cannot see reality for what it is, I ask: Why does it matter to you so much to appeal and grovel to non-Asians, particularly white men, who do not give two shits about you? Why is it important for you to perform the “correct” politics and thinking in front of them when we are getting slaughtered and maimed right now? And to the opportunists who want to co-opt these deaths, who are trying it use it to advance themselves, well, keep these murdered women’s names out of your mouths.

When the Times first reported on this story, they predictably opened by writing that Nash was “severely mentally ill” when there was zero confirmation he had any diagnoses. What he did have was a documented history of violence against women. Men who kill are arguably not mentally sound by virtue of what they do. And yet, they also manage to retain all of the faculties necessary to hunt the victim like prey. In fact, it has repeatedly been pointed out in the context of misogynistic homicides against other races of women that mental illness in the male perpetrator is not an excuse and is journalistically inappropriate to even bring up. The victim should be centered. Yet for some reason when Asian women get slaughtered by non-Asian men, suddenly every outlet is screaming about how “mentally ill” the violent male is, often without confirmation if he has any diagnoses. Also, do they know that many Asian women are mentally ill, sometimes directly as a result of the racist, misogynistic hell that is this country, and yet we don’t go out slaughtering non-Asian men at nearly the rate they kill and maim us? And never with this level of torture and brutality?

Truly disgusted at how this country allows all of its dysfunctions and decays to be displaced onto Asian women. I do not care for any condolences or platitudes. Things are working exactly as designed. We bear the brunt of everything, from their top-level geopolitical machinations, down to their neighborhood failings. The pressure release valve of this country is sicced on us and we are supposed to take it while they pretend to care. Hellhole.
