1. Recently the incidences of racist attacks on Asians in the U.S. have noticeably increased. Why has this happened? Who is responsible?
The mainstream media’s narrative is that President Trump’s using the terms “China virus,” “Wuhan virus,” and “kung-flu,” while suggesting China made and spread the coronavirus, generated hatred of Asians. This, it was said, caused increases in assaults against Asians.
There are flaws in this narrative...
In counterpoint, American hostility toward Chinese Americans was obviously stirred by candidate Joe Biden calling President Xi a “thug” during the campaign and stating that Xi did not have a “democratic bone” in his body.
After Joe Biden became president, the U.S. government’s and media’s rhetoric about China became more hostile than it had been under President Trump. President Biden and his aides railed against China’s authoritarian system, President Xi ending term limits, China’s human rights abuses (especially against Uyghurs), and its quashing freedom and democracy in Hong Kong. Much more was said about China’s efforts to destroy the Western liberal world order and dominate global financial matters than during the Trump presidency.
....the huge spike in the number of incidences in March 2021, two months after Joe Biden became president, insinuates he was more responsible for the problem than President Trump. The incidences of racial attacks on Asians increased a whopping 164 percent in the first quarter of 2021.
...the tsunami-like rise of racist comments and untoward actions toward Asian-Americans and even killings constitute serious problems that deserve attention, objective assessments, and real action.

2. New data has revealed over the past year (2020), the number of anti-Asian hate incidents — which can include shunning, slurs and physical attacks — is greater than previously reported. And a disproportionate number of attacks have been directed at women.
The research released by reporting forum Stop AAPI Hate on Tuesday revealed nearly 3,800 incidents were reported over the course of roughly a year during the pandemic. It’s a significantly higher number than last year's count of about 2,600 hate incidents nationwide over the span of five months. Women made up a far higher share of the reports, at 68 percent, compared to men, who made up 29 percent of respondents. The nonprofit does not report incidents to police....
One Chinese American woman reported that a “man on the subway slapped my hands, threatened to throw his lighter at me, then called me a ‘c---- b----.’ He then said to ‘get the f--- out of NYC.’” Another woman, who’s Filipino American, reported that while in a Washington, D.C., metro station with her boyfriend, a man shouted "Chinese b----" at her, coughed at the couple and physically threatened them....
The wave of violence directed at Asian American seniors at the beginning of the year, particularly the graphic attacks that have been captured on video, have likely prompted more attention from both the community and mainstream media, Jeung said. And it’s galvanized a vocal response that’s likely led to more reporting....

3. In the latest sign that the mind of U.S. academia has been hijacked by the left, a professor from the University of California-Santa Barbara described herself “a white American” who is, therefore “by definition racist.”
In a webinar lecture entitled, “Undoing White Supremacy in the Language Disciplines,” Mary Bucholtz, Professor and Chair of the Department of Linguistics at the University of California-Santa Barbara, broke the news to America’s majority white population that white supremacy “is a system that White people have built in order to oppress everyone else.”
“As a White American, I am by definition racist,” Bucholtz says at the opening of her talk, as reported by Campus Reform. “Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. I know there is this sort of rhetoric of White people in the United States rejecting the label of racism but I think we need to acknowledge that, and do better.”
In keeping with the infectious spirit of the times, the professor went on to characterize ‘white supremacy’ in the United States as a “pandemic or… a disease,” yet minutes later in the discussion she contradicted herself, saying “white supremacy is not a disease, it is a choice … a system that White people have built in order to oppress everyone else.”

4. .....in the United States, Asian Americans have long been considered as a threat to a nation that promoted a whites-only immigration policy. They were called a “yellow peril”: unclean and unfit for citizenship in America.
In the late 19th century, white nativists spread xenophobic propaganda about Chinese uncleanliness in San Francisco. This fueled the passage of the infamous Chinese Exclusion Act, the first law in the United States that barred immigration solely based on race. Initially, the act placed a 10-year moratorium on all Chinese migration....

5. Racist attacks against Asians (especially Chinese) are cowardly in the sense that the innocent victims are girls, young women and elderly men and women. They are often attacked from behind without rhyme or reason. The attacks are violent in the sense that the victims are often hit hard in the face or head with weapons, or shoved onto the railway tracks to be crushed to a pulp by an approaching train.
In ancient China, there was a tradition that whoever thought that a martial art instructor was not up to the standard to set up a martial art school, he could go to the school to challenge the instructor to a one-to-one fight. Such a challenge to the martial art instructor was called "踢馆 (pronounced "ti guan" which literally means "kicking down the martial art hall"). If the martial art instructor lost the fight to the challenger, his reputation would be seriously damaged and he had to close the school.
There are quite a number of martial art schools in the US. If a racist assailant thinks he is a real man with balls to defeat a kungfu expert like Bruce Lee, he should go to a martial art school in the US to challenge the chief instructor to a one-to-one fight instead of cowardly attacking girls, women and old people from behind their backs.
6. Right activists all over the world must take note of the ongoing genocide against Asians in the US. The UN rights chief must pluck up enough courage to probe the rising trend in violent, racist attacks against Asians in the US.
The following is the beginning of an unending list of such violent, racist attacks against America's Asians (not in chronological order). There will be addition to the list wherever I can find them.
(a) An Asian woman was waiting for a subway in Times Square Friday afternoon when police say a homeless man snatched her purse and shoved her onto the tracks.
The violent attack took place just before 1:45pm on the uptown R subway platform.

(b) Two minutes away from her apartment building, (Martha) Hao spied an oncoming bicyclist—in his late 30s and maskless, with brown hair and facial features that reminded her of Matthew McConaughey. (“But not handsome,” she says.) After passing the runner in front of Hao, the biker abruptly swerved into her lane and hit the brakes, cutting off her path. “That’s when he yelled at me,” she says, and even now his words are still fresh in her mind: “Go back to Wuhan, you c---k! It's because of you there's the virus!”

(c) Eight people, many of them women of Asian descent, have been killed in shootings at spas in the US state of Georgia.
Police say the shootings took place at a massage parlour in Acworth, a suburb north of Atlanta, and two spas in the city itself.
South Korea later confirmed that four of the victims were of Korean descent...
