>The increase in Asian hate was not led by Black Americans

Yes it was.

>I'll leave it as an exercise to the reader to determine which group was the number one culprit of such vile acts -- from simple assault to mass murder.

Let's look at the objective facts backed by data: https://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/cv18.pdf

Table 14

Asians were the only group more likely to be attacked by someone of a different race. Blacks were the most frequent aggressors. 27% of attacks were from Black aggressors. 24% were from White aggressors. Blacks make up 13% of the population, so they are WAY more likely per capita to attack Asians than Whites. QED.

inb4 this is from 2018. If you have numbers from a latter reputable study, please provide them here, but the facts are facts. Blacks are the number one perpetrators of crime against Asians.

[Edit] No feathers rustled here, you're just projecting after being called out. I simply enjoy being a data driven adult.

These are facts about Asian victimization. Victimization does not demonstrate hate. There are separate charts for hate crime patterns, and I believe it shows a similar trend. Not surprisingly the current administration does not want to talk about this very much. Instead they talk about bias incidents, including saying not nice things. These skew whiter than crimes, especially violent crimes.

Also, your comment history shows a definite bias.

I'm not opening a random Google Doc. That's not a reputable study.

"You said something that goes against the narrative so I'm going to dig through your history to find something I dislike so I can commit an ad hominem against the heretic."

Yes, I have a penchant for being fact driven. I'm biased towards reality.

> I'm biased towards reality.

The truth is that people who say this overwhelmingly externalize their own biases as reality and then divorce themselves from the idea that they did so in the first place. They aren't capable of behaving otherwise and see themselves as beyond reproach. It's a thought limiting cliche and signals the participant is unwilling to consider anything other than their own point of view.

The "random google doc" was prepared by Dr. Janelle Wong of the Asian American Studies Program from the University of Maryland.
A Google doc prepared by a high priestess of grievance studies means less than nothing. Provide me a reputable study with real statistical analysis and objective figures like I did.
