As someone who struggles with mental illness, please don't use us as your scapegoat.
Oh Jesus, where to start...
Or maybe racism is more common than your comfortable with admitting. Equality is not going to be achieved by pretending racism was defeated at some non-specific point in the past.
But he shot and killed two white people too. He targeted spa's not nessecarilly because they were asian.
Right, because mass shooters are so cautious about their targets once the bullets start flying.
No... he targeted Asian salons/spas that, in this case, happened to have 2 white people in them.
I dunno. Arent almost all of those kinds of spas run by asians? Seems like the businesses were the targets and the racial profile of the people was circumstantial. Hell didnt the guy even say he did it based of sexual temptation not race?
This may come as a shock to you, but the spa industry is not exclusive to Asian people by any stretch of the imagination. He specifically targeted Asian spas that were advertised as such. Seriously, read the news before you shoot your mouth off.
Are you suggesting that racism and misogyny are mutually exclusive?
Who are "they" and why are they the sole arbiters of truth in your worldview?
On the counter side you had China and Chinese linked media pushing the narrative that calling it the China Virus was racist as was even saying the virus came from China at all.
I can only suggest virtue signalling without realising they're feeding into and playing into a whole "Race War" Narrative. I mean the Manson cult killed 5 white people and tried to blame the killing on black people. It failed. Now I wouldn't be shocked if some people are pushing it the other way round trying to blame killings on white people being racist and targeting black people to try and get a reaction the other way round.
Except we don't specifically know he did target a specific subset of people. It could merely be that it happened to be the spas had more Asian staff possibly due to low pay or them being partly family run / owned businesses
The "they" in question is the shooter. Are you just trying to be confrontational for the sake of it? I really don't understand what your issue is. Not everything is racist even if YOU see everything in terms of race. Sorry to break that news to you.
They aren't even close to being the same thing. Last I check, vagina's come in all sorts of colors a beautiful spectrum even.
Take your own advice, and then you would be questioning what I mean by "they" maybe?
Making a lot of assumptions, kid.
You didn't answer my question. Are they mutually exclusive? And if so, why? Do you know what "mutually exclusive" means?
Don't you know it's all the work of the Cabal of DDDDDOOOOOOOMMMMM whose whole goal is to keep "minorities" down even if women technically make up ~51% of the global population they are minorities and the secret underground alliance of MRAs, Trumpers, Bernie Bros, Gamers™, People who dislike The Last Jedi, PUAs, INCELs, Virgins, People who disliked Ghostbusters 2016, people who disliked Captain Marvel, People who disliked The Last of Us Part II, People who disliked Battlefield V, Terrorists, Nazis, People who don't like Jodie Whitakers Doctor Who series, People who dislike the new Batwoman series, Anti - Reylos, SnowBarry shippers, Artists who draw characters too thin; Artists who draw characters skin a shade too light; Atheism Minuses and many more who have all come together to deliberately hold back progress and prevent the rise of the glorious utopia parallel society free from hatred.
So is the assumption he targeted specific spas and those weren't merely the nearest spas to the gunshop / the killers house.
I brought it up some-where recently even thinking it was Holland myself apparently it's Denmark as was pointed out by Dreiko I think
Even if you want to call Trump's words an "official endorsement", it's still not going to lead to hate crimes against Asian Americans. Trump's continued saying of things like "China virus" is not an attack against Chinese anything. Nothing related to or even accidentally mistaken for Chinese is being targeted by him using that terminology. The punchline when he says that is all the people who call it racist to say that. Democrats are the punchline. His divisive rhetoric here is politically divisive, not racially divisive. It's a big, old middle finger to the people who say that he's racist for saying it.
If Asian mainly run these business and, as you said, the businesses were targets.... then racial profiling definitely isn't circumstantial. In fact, your comment it makes this thing sound more racist
Yeah okay this is a fair enough point. However if the targeted spas were rumored to offer such special services, then the race of the people within is circumstantial right.
So ((((the media)))) had a meeting and said 'hey we're going to really push this asian hate race thing so we can bring on the race war as foretold in the ancient texts'?
