Are they hate crimes, or just crimes? As in, are the perpetrators engaging in these assaults because they have a specific hatred of Asians or are they just acting in a barbaric way in general and an Asian person happened to be in the way?
I mean that as a genuine question - the videos I've seen have all been ambiguous on this fact.
- noofen 5y agoThe videos I've seen often include the perpetrator yelling racial slurs at the victim and telling them to "go back where they came from."

Of course, will these be charged as hate crimes? Doubtful.
- Judgmentality 5y agoI'm not taking a side here, but I am impressed with your dedication to this conversation.
- noofen 5y agoI don't want to come off as a reactionary. I just want to find the truth and see where it leads, irregardless of political fashion trends.
- AussieWog93 5y agoJesus, those people are horrible. I don't know what to say, I haven't seen those videos before.
- renewiltord 5y agoIf, for some reason, there were disproportionate outcomes based on race, one could reasonably question why this doesn’t count as “systemic racism”.
