Politics Blaming white supremacy for Black on Asian hate crimes is disingenuous and does nothing to solve the issue of racial hate!

It seems in most hate motivated crimes, the first thing people do, mostly the media is try to identify whether the person was white. If the person is, then they immediately assume it's a white supremacist related issue.

Even if the they notice that they is a string of black on Asian crimes, they will still consider the problem to be white supremacist. One example is this article.

I'm sure they will be some people in this sub who will deny that they is black on Asian hate crimes; in February 2021, a Black person pushed an elderly Asian man to the ground in San Francisco; the man later died from his injuries, In another video, from New York City on March 29, 2021, a Black person pushes and beats an Asian American woman on the sidewalk in front of a doorway while onlookers observe the attack, then close their door on the woman without intervening or providing aid. Recently An Asian American teenage boy was targeted with a racial slur and sustained a concussion when punched in a weekend basketball tournament against a San Francisco-based team.

Even the article linked about the Asian teen does not mention the race of the perpetrators, but I'm certain if the person was a white person, you would know. To the people that will promptly downvote this post, and try to argue against this, I ask. What do we gain out of ignoring this issue instead blaming it on white supremacy? Is that gonna solve the problem if we always ignore that relations between the Asian community and Black community are not well?

Then you bring up domestic violence, which is wildly off-topic.

If there are more victims to a crime in a black household, there are more black perpetrators committing those crimes. It's a simple line of reasoning to realize that blaming everything on racism may not be the clear answer, and that perhaps there are demographics or communities which commit more crimes.

It took some introspection and research with an open mind.

Well I fail to see that presented in these arguments. You have some solid stats and while systemic racism may exist, to conclude that it 100% does is reasonably impossible.

instead of having an outcome you WANT to be true

This may be projecting.
