“The pandemic has unleashed familiar forces of hate, fear and xenophobia that he always flames … that have always existed in this society,” Biden said. “But this president brought it with him, has brought with it a new rash of racial messages, verbal and physical attacks and other acts of hate, some subtle, some overt, against the Asian American and Pacific Islanders.”
Biden seems to be accusing Trump of encouraging violent attacks by his supporters.
Anti-Asian violence certainly is occurring, but when I do a search for videos of anti-Asian attacks most of them are either from Canada or New York City. In the US, most the attacks with arrests or clear videos seem to come from people who don’t fit the stereotype of Trump supporters.
Does this mean that Trump has a secret mass of violent supporters lurking in Canada and New York City?
For reference here are links to some recent alleged attacks in the US. One is from Texas; the others are from New York City.
Are these incidents really Trump’s fault?
Or is Biden simply repeating a smear similar to that of the Jussie Smollett sham?
The left has beaten the racism horse way past the point of death, few cares anymore it has been used way to much and has lost its meaning.
The Chinese are some of the most racist people in the world towards black people, there is no way as a society they would tolerate a multiracial society as western countries have.
Every example listed shows an African American committing the violence. This is a problem among Dems and not the other way around. Biden needs to look in the mirror. His constituents are violent.
It’s been thrown around to long and to frivolously. We see people on the left accusing each other of racism, misogyny, and being homophobic. The Democratic candidates on the debate stage looked frozen with fear that they might say the wrong thing that would be used against them by the online Puritan mob.
Most of the time they just took had the Puritan judgement as Warren did to Bloomberg and dropped out of the race.
Total race bating by a Democrat. So surprising around election time. /sarcasm
Trump blamed the communist Chinese government, not Chinese ethnic groups.
Biden is basically defending the Chinese communist government, not Chinese people.
Super disappointed at the tepid response of the onlookers.
Tough to tell what the ethnicity was of the attacker, let alone a solid description. The detective in me says he is not far away from the scene. They will get him.
