I haven’t experienced it myself either, but it’s well documented. I believe the Justice department has publicly available stats

Show me the stats

Thanks for the links. I’m not saying hate crimes don’t exist, I’m saying it’s blown up. And indeed your second link shows that Asian hate crimes are last even after hate crimes against white people xD

I think we should try to lower crime and racism in general, not just for Asians.

You misread the data on the second last link. Those numbers are absolute reported and qualifying incidents. When you account for group population size, per capita the incidence of hate crimes against Asian Americans are quite high - not as high as those against Blacks and Jews, but 4x higher than against Hispanics and 8x higher than those against whites.

It’s not “blown up”. It’s not about the sheer number, it’s about growth. Violent crimes targeting Asians are up 186%

I suggest that you read the news more often before going with just your gut to support a specific narrative.

I suggest you read the news less, it's making you paranoid :)

Unlike you, I have data to back up my argument. It’s not paranoia.

If you’re willing to ignore data just to preserve your narrative, that just shows that you don’t care very much for facts and you’d rather remain ignorant of what’s happening.

The only constant in life is change, and the best way to account for it is with quantitative data.

What kind of asian? Filipino? Japanese? Korean? Chinese? Indian? What do you do for work? Are you important? Where were you born?

"I haven't experienced any hate crimes and I'm asian". That's a very naive way to look at this.

No I’m referring to the fact that every time there’s an Asian involved in a crime people say this stuff, and when I look into it it’s not a racially motivated crime. I’ve seen this enough time to realize that people will use the fact that they belong to a group when it helps them get more power

Do you want evidence people are specifically targeting asians? Here's one even published on Friday.

I’m not saying hate crimes do not exist, and I’m not saying that robbers don’t target Asians because Asians tend to carry a lot of cash

> hate crime: a crime, typically one involving violence, that is motivated by prejudice on the basis of ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, or similar grounds.

this is literally the definition of a hate crime.

> prejudice

preconceived opinion that is not based on reason or actual experience.

you should go reread what you wrote earlier and reflect

Sounds like what you've been doing

A lot of similar posts exist on r/sanfrancisco and it’s almost always fake and always about racist comments targeting black people
