"Asian hate."

Is blaming Russia for bad things considered "Asian hate?" Russia is most of the land in Asia.

Maybe this isn't "hate" at all. Doesn't it eventually get exhausting, making everything about ethnicity or race?

Seems far more reasonable that this is about the Chinese government. Do you think this person doesn't like Tik Tok because it was created by "Asian" people, or because the oppressive Chinese government uses it to spy on people?

COVID originated in China, and it didn't originate in a meat market. Lol. Again...even if you disagree, it's obvious this person means COVID is a mistake, or worse, unleashed upon the world via the Chinese government...not "Asian" people.

It's not at all exhausting for me to spread the sentiment that I don't agree with propaganda in our community that could spike violence against asian people.

It is undeniable that there has been a spike in violence against asian people since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. I have friends in other cities who are afraid to leave their house at night.

It's not me conflating the Chinese government with a Korean-American citizen, it's people on the street committing acts of violence. And that is what I stand against. I don't want to see my friends and neighbors get hurt.
