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.

Example of FUD campaign to try to promote asian hate: https://www.instagram.com/reel/CvjHxU3tkjh/?igshid=MzRlODBiN...

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