If society were savagely racist why are asians not pushed in that direction?

But lets say this is true: it still means the whole police thing is a symptom, and not the cause. So the big question (and elephant in the room) is, what can be done.

For starters, Asian people in America aren't dealing with the ongoing aftermath of 200+ years of slavery.

Yes, I think the police thing is partially a symptom. But I would guess there are many complex feedback loops. So it is a cause as well.
