  You misread the data on the second last link. Those numbers are absolute reported and qualifying incidents. When you account for group population size, per capita the incidence of hate crimes against Asian Americans are quite high - not as high as those against Blacks and Jews, but 4x higher than against Hispanics and 8x higher than those against whites.

  It’s not “blown up”. It’s not about the sheer number, it’s about growth. Violent crimes targeting Asians are up 186% I suggest that you read the news more often before going with just your gut to support a specific narrative.

      Unlike you, I have data to back up my argument. It’s not paranoia. If you’re willing to ignore data just to preserve your narrative, that just shows that you don’t care very much for facts and you’d rather remain ignorant of what’s happening. The only constant in life is change, and the best way to account for it is with quantitative data.
