Chinese Americans: Atlanta shooting has nothing to do with “hatred of Asians

People place flowers outside the massage parlor where the shooting took place to mourn after the shooting in Atlanta, Georgia, U.S., March 16, 2021.

Since the shooting at the massage parlor in Atlanta, Georgia on Tuesday (16), there has been a lot of hype up and down the United States, calling it an “Asian hate” incident, with politicians, elected officials and organizations at all levels speaking out to condemn it.

The incident also became a hot topic of discussion in the Chinese community, with families discussing the issue of whether they had been “discriminated against” after dinner. Some young people followed the media, treating individual cases as racial confrontations and being indignant about “Asian hatred”; some older people told each other: “Don’t go out on the street if you have nothing to do”. It seems that Asians on the street are now “everyone’s fault”.

What is the actual situation? This reporter interviewed several Chinese-Americans who have lived in the United States for decades. They all think that the murder case in Atlanta has nothing to do with “hatred of Asians”, but is purely a “cat’s meat on dog’s meat”, which is a “non-existent and ulterior motive”. The political circles and the media have hyped a “random and accidental” criminal case as a racial incident, which is the “racial discrimination” that “causes division, hatred and racial conflicts”. This is the kind of “racial discrimination” that “divides, divides, divides, divides and divides.

The reasons behind this “stirring up of one group of people against another” have even been discussed.

The Atlanta case has nothing to do with “Asianophobia

The Chinese are now well aware of the Atlanta incident, but they are surprised to learn that the killers did not target Asians exclusively if they had to look at race, so why talk about “Asian hatred”?

New York City Chinese calligrapher He Zhe said he heard from the police in Atlanta that the 21-year-old white killer admitted that his motive for killing was “revenge for sexual seduction. So after he killed eight people in Joe, he had to go to Florida to kill pornographers there.

“Although it’s now known that he killed four Koreans, he also killed two white women and injured Hispanics, and that has nothing to do with racism,” he said. He said.

Mr. He Zhe, a Chinese-American calligrapher in New York.

Lucy Tan, a Chinese entrepreneur on Long Island, said this was a criminal case that had nothing to do with race or color.

“Because the killer killed two whites in addition to Asians, it’s nothing to make an issue out of race and has an ulterior motive; to portray a normal public security incident as a hatred of Asians is to put cat meat on dog meat and try to stir up conflicts between Asians and other ethnic groups.” She said.

He Zhe observed that the police in Atlanta were wise enough to immediately increase their police presence and patrols.

“If the bandits are strong and the police are weak, the community must be in turmoil; if the police are strong and the bandits are weak, the community must have fewer cases. This is the law and common sense.” He said. “Now the U.S. is again kneeling to criminals, condemning police, cutting police funding, putting police out of work, and making police afraid to go out on the streets to enforce the law, then the bad guys naturally run out. That’s just the way it is.”

“There is no systemic racial discrimination in America.”

So is there what is often called “systematic” or “institutional” racial discrimination in the United States? These Chinese who have lived in the U.S. for more than ten to thirty years sum up in one voice from their own personal experience: “There is no systemic racial discrimination in the U.S.”.

New York Chinese entrepreneur Lou Xinyue.

Daniel Lou, an entrepreneur who came to the U.S. 28 years ago, said he has not only not encountered any discrimination against Chinese people in his nearly 30 years of experience, but he also has not encountered any trouble in his particular experience last year.

Xingyue Lou used to work for the 2020 U.S. Census Office, knocking on doors in New Jersey, Staten Island and Brooklyn while people were at Home avoiding the Epidemic, urging people to fill out census questionnaires.

“Think about it, if Americans hate us Chinese because Trump (Trump) called the plague the ‘Chinese virus,’ I’m a Chinese, I’m knocking on doors, people are at home avoiding the plague, and I haven’t encountered a single case of discrimination in this situation, and I’m one of the staff one of the highest success rates.”

He said, “That’s why I say there is no racism in America, no hatred; and there are all the ethnic groups in the world in America, and everyone by and large lives in peace with each other, treats each other with courtesy, and lives together in peace. I’ve never encountered racial discrimination in all the years I’ve lived. After years of the civil rights movement, America is one of the best countries out there in terms of ethnic harmony.”

As for the issue of personal hatred, it is a “small percentage” of incidents, “not representative of the United States. “Whether it’s other ethnic groups, whether it’s us Asians, verbal and behavioral hatred and discrimination is in any society, but it can’t be made to look like inter-ethnic hatred.” He said.

He Zhe volunteered to disinfect the door handles and hallways of residential buildings during last year’s epidemic, and all 700 residents of the building, regardless of ethnicity, thanked him when they saw him.

“Americans are quite friendly to other ethnic groups and are all kind-hearted. In my 26 years of Life, I’ve had a wide range of social contacts, I’ve been on the street every day, and no one has discriminated against me at all, so I say: there is no systemic, institutionalized racial discrimination in America.”

He also said that when it comes to “discrimination” itself, there is discrimination in any country and in any nationality.

“We Chinese people also scold black people and white people, but this is only an occasional incident, not on behalf of Chinese people or Americans; there is no racial discrimination in mainstream American society, and if you pull a social security problem to race, you are making something out of nothing, which is itself racial discrimination, racial hatred.”

Lucy Tan has been in the U.S. for more than a decade and has not encountered any discrimination as a Chinese person. Although she has encountered people spitting at her or whatever, she believes that this is in any society and does not affect the beauty of America at all.

If America is bad, why did I choose to immigrate here? Why don’t I go to Africa, the Middle East and Latin American countries?” She said, putting her heart in the right place, hearts are all the same, and one cannot speak with a clear conscience.

“I’m not running for office, and I dare to say this: if there is discrimination in America, it’s the Democrats who are using the name of race to discriminate against us Chinese, and the leftist politicians who are assigning racial quotas on college exams and eliminating gifted classes and special high school tests are the ones who are really ‘discriminating against Asians’ people.”

The same “political imperative” as the “Black Lives Matter” movement

So why does mainstream America hype a vicious criminal or public safety case as a case of “racial hatred”? The Chinese interviewed believe that this is a kind of “politics”, “identity politics”, or to be precise, a kind of “communist revolutionary” who “provokes It is a typical tactic of the “communist revolutionaries” to “provoke some people to fight the masses”.

According to Lou Xinyue, this kind of “playing the race card” is a kind of “identity politics”, an opportunity for politicians to “create a topic and have something to do”.

“I think the Democratic Party is the best at playing this game, putting this topic up for speculation, actually creating racial tension, confrontation and division – the same as last year’s ‘Black Lives Matter’ movement, playing ‘identity politics’.” He said. “When they say black lives are expensive, they’re just saying that, and what have they actually done for black people? They passed laws that instead arrested a lot of black people; so they never say one thing and do another. It’s the same with the ‘Asian hate’ now, it’s all about playing politics and making a statement.”

He Zhe hit the nail on the head when he pointed out that the “Asian hate” hype is the “communist mindset” of leftist politicians in the United States.

“It’s a communist ploy: how can it start a ‘revolution’ without class conflict? The basic routine of communist revolutionaries: use one group of people to fight another group of people; first pick up a group of people to fuck another group of people and rob their property; then divide the other group into two or three groups and continue to fight, endlessly, forever. …… This is their basic routine, without the ‘fight fighting’, how can they profit?”

He said that the Chinese are “used to” the communists and are “used to it”, “I’ll know what you’re shitting as soon as you raise your ass”, but unfortunately this excuse really It is a pity that this excuse has really confused several generations of people who were brainwashed by communism in leftist schools in the United States.

Is the “China virus” to blame?

Chinese people believe that there is a “lack of common sense” in the society that is still blaming Trump for the “Asian hatred” that is being raised months after Trump stepped down. Some say that if the Chinese are really being resented for the plague, the culprit is the poisonous Chinese Communist Party, not Trump.

“It’s also a political talking point. Democratic politicians are looking for scapegoats to win over Asian voters by using Trump’s ‘China virus’ to create trouble and keep voters away from the Republican Party and Trump.” Lou Xinyue said.

According to Lucy Tan, calling the plague the “China virus” or the “Wuhan virus” is a “normal” thing, a common sense understanding.

“Because the virus is from China, ‘athlete’s foot’ is from Hong Kong, ‘German measles’ is from Germany, ‘Spanish flu’ is from Spain, ‘athlete’s foot’ is from Hong Kong. is from Spain, and ‘Ebola’ is from the Ebola River in Africa …… It’s common knowledge in the epidemiological community to name viruses by their place of origin.”

For many Americans, she said, what they lack now is “common sense. “Just like there’s a difference between male and female; 1+1 equals 2; you can’t call ‘Wuhan pneumonia‘ ‘Brazilian pneumonia,’ right?”

Lucy Tan was even more perplexed by the notion of blaming Trump for the criminal crimes against Asians that are currently taking place everywhere.

“Trump says ‘Chinese virus’ and you hate Chinese people? Why are you guys listening to Trump so much again? Aren’t you guys against whatever Trump says?”

She said, “I see from the news in the media that the majority of criminals who beat up the elderly in the Asian community are black, but everyone is saying that America is ‘white supremacy,’ which makes me a little psychotic …… I think it’s the leftists behind Democrats breeding criminals, appeasing traitors and stirring up ethnic tensions.”

“The only way to save ourselves is to firmly draw a line with the Chinese Communist Party.”

According to Lou Xinyue, if there is any “discrimination” or “hatred” against the Chinese because of the plague, the culprit is the Chinese Communist Party, and no one else.

“It doesn’t matter if you did it artificially or through negligence, but it is undeniable that the virus came out of Wuhan and spread all over the world – you either deliberately released the poison or you are completely incompetent. You have made the whole world rich, so shameless. If people in the world despise and hate Chinese people because of the epidemic, it is the Chinese Communist Party that has caused us!”

Although most Americans have now realized that China, the Chinese and the Chinese Communist Party should not be confused, the Chinese themselves need to wake up, said Lou Xinyue.

“The only way for us to save ourselves is to firmly draw a line with the CCP.” He said. “Only by resolutely opposing the Communist Party can you clear your name and save face – the Chinese Communist Party has created such a big disaster, and you still dare not admit the truth, dare not even say a fair word, and defend the Chinese Communist Party just for the sake of just going back to your country, seriously, it’s people who hate you as they should. “

Former media personality Stephanie Liu.

Stephanie Liu, another Chinese-American media personality familiar with the operation of the Chinese Communist Party, said she agreed with the understanding of the previous Chinese, and she believed that “behind every incident of ‘discrimination against Chinese’ played out in American society is the shadow of the Chinese Communist Party”, “in fact, it is deliberately provoking conflicts” – who is happy when American society is in chaos?
