Escalating Racial Attacks on Asian Americans

Many non-Asian Americans do not believe that there are attacks on Asians in the USA because of their race, much less that these attacks are escalating.

Not sure why.

Other minorities might even just shrug and say "welcome to the club" or something along that line.

So why is it that when Asians complain about racist attacks upon them, either no one believes, no one cares or no one listens to them.

It is because Asians are supposed to be the model minority?

It is because Asians just smile, don't complain and just take it?

It is because they are Asians and worse, that they are Chinese? Although non-Asians cannot tell Asians apart and assume all Asians are Chinese.

Anyway, for anyone still thinking it is fake news to say that attacks on Asian Americans are escalating, here's something to take a look at.

Parts of one of several different notes posted on this one neighborhood says:

"You, because we consider you’re a stranger, one bad person for this country, leave, go far away, go back to your country, the place you belong,"

"Leave this place."

"You have until the day May/23/2020 Saturday 10:30 am to leave this country,”

“In this place, no Asian allowed. My Country USA."


I am thinking, if ever anybody would be writing something like this, it should only be Native Americans. And technically, Native Canadians and Mexican Americans are not even included.

But shame on anyone for even thinking this way and for those who are actually verbalizing and posting these sentiments -- serious charges should be in order.

Imagine waking up and having a notice like this posted right on your door and other notices on different areas around your community.


Yeah, it looks like the 1890s to the 1940s all over again.
