The Washington Post <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/nation\/2021\/03\/19\/atlanta-shooting-updates\/\"><span>reported<\/span><\/a><span> that \u201cBiden, Harris denounce attacks on Asian Americans,\u201d while CNN <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2021\/03\/18\/politics\/white-supremacy-racism-asian-americans\/index.html\"><span>wrote,<\/span><\/a><span> \u201cWhite supremacy and hate are haunting Asian Americans.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cMany Asian Americans feel exposed by a torrent of dangerous and racially motivated rhetoric by national figures on a cultural crusade. Most prominently that includes ex-President Donald Trump, who presided over four years of rising racial tensions and often used division as a tool of personal power,\u201d Stephen Collinson wrote for CNN.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>However, this continued assertion that every form of hatred committed against Asian Americans is unique to Trump-loving \u201cwhite supremacists\u201d stands in direct opposition to available data.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>According to the U.S. Department of Justice in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bjs.gov\/content\/pub\/pdf\/cv18.pdf\"><span>2018<\/span><\/a><span>, there were 182,230 against Asian people. Every race except for Asians was most likely to be victimized by someone of their own race. Asians, however, were most likely to be victimized by a black person. 27.5% of attacks against Asian people were committed by black people, compared to 24.1% by white people and 24.1% by Asian people. Just 7.0% of these attacks were committed by Hispanic people.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Representing 13.4% of the U.S. population, black people are vastly overrepresented among perpetrators of violent acts against Asian Americans, making the \u201cblame white supremacy\u201d line ever more challenging for the opportunistic Left.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>What makes matters \u201cworse\u201d for the Left is that several attacks against Asian Americans have been shared widely on social media, further contradicting their claim that anti-Asian violence is unique to white Americans. For example, security cameras recorded an attack committed in New York, in which a 65-year-old Asian woman was brutally beaten in the street, reportedly by the later-identified and arrested Brandon Elliot. Elliot is black.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"8.3870967741935\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Here is graphic video of the assault on the older Asian woman by a black male suspect in NYC.

Stop. Anyone who\u2019s using the term \u2018surge\u2019 around you consciously is trying to invoke a militaristic frame and that\u2019s a problem because this is not a surge,\u201d Ocasio-Cortez <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/aoc-referring-to-surge-of-illegal-immigration-is-militaristic-a-white-supremacist-idea\"><span>said<\/span><\/a><span>. \u201cThese are children and they are not insurgents, and we are not being invaded, which, by the way, is a white supremacist idea, philosophy; the idea that if an other is coming in the population, that this is like an invasion of who we are.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In a <a href=\"https:\/\/bariweiss.substack.com\/p\/do-not-look-away-from-evil\">piece<\/a> titled \u201cDo Not Look Away From Evil,\u201d Bari Weiss wrote \u201cBut maybe there is another evil, beyond the monstrousness of the the attackers and the cruelty of the bystanders. And that is the evil of lying about \u2014 or purposefully misdiagnosing \u2014 the problem to fit The Narrative.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cAs Zaid Jilani explained last week,\u201d Weiss continued, \u201cthe official media story about these anti-Asian hate crimes is that they are instances of white supremacy. \u2018If you thumb through news articles from the past few days or read over statements from leading politicians, you\u2019d imagine that the Ku Klux Klan is responsible for the spree of robberies, assaults and murders of Asian-Americans across the nation. The phrase \u2018white supremacy\u2019 is used repeatedly,\u2019 he wrote. \u2018This narrative is pervasive, but it bears no relationship to the evidence before us. Not only are none of the high-profile attackers over the past few months white supremacists, many of them aren\u2019t even white.\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>And this is precisely the issue. The political Left are more concerned with leveraging current events as further evidence of systemic \u201cwhite supremacy,\u201d for which the only cure is so-called \u201cprogressivism.\u201d When instances can be linked with \u201cwhiteness\u201d in any form \u2014 whether such characterizations are relevant or not \u2014 then they are embraced with glee. When instances cannot logically be linked with \u201cwhiteness,\u201d such as the rate of anti-Asian violence committed by black perpetrators, then not to worry! By relying on a \u201csoft bigotry of low expectations,\u201d these people only commit these crimes because they are victims of whiteness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In simple terms, every question has the same answer. And when every question has the same answer, it\u2019s likely that someone is lying to you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span>Ian Haworth is an Editor and Writer for The Daily Wire.
