U.S. vlogger explains how Western media foment anti-Asian hate
crimes
--- Quote ---
> The videos and images of a 76-year-old Asian woman pitifully
crying with a bruised eye after being assaulted by a white man
in San Francisco have gone viral on social media and shocked the
whole world. This attack not only speeds up the spread of fear
among Asian American communities but also raises some questions.
How can Asian Americans protect themselves? Are there cases of
unfair policing among the Americans? What's the role of the
Western media in the rise in anti-Asian hate crimes? Cyrus
Janssen, an American vlogger, offers an in-depth analysis.

"Bullies fail in life bro" - Little Rock Nine come face to face
with their tormentors (They sure seem to be dressed up in
expensive clothes - suits and all. Doesn't look like they failed
to me. Meanwhile "non-Whites" who so much as even rob one of
their ilk are locked up practically forever):

Thank you for revealing the insincerity in your apology. Now
that we know who you are, we will see to it that you are given
punishment so worse that even eternal hell will look nice in
comparison.

> The Times recently reported on the outcry following the L.A.
theater community's Ovation Awards, where organizers
mispronounced the name of an Asian American nominee and
displayed a photo of the wrong actor.
>
> If anyone doubts the racially based sting that comes with such
insults to one's professional endeavors, just read the emails
that rolled in to The Times after publication of our article.
One reader said the Ovation reaction was just an example of
"Asian victimhood." Another called it a big joke: "I thought you
were writing a sketch for SNL with your article yesterday; so
'much pain and anger' that wrong photo used and name pronounced
incorrectly. Hahahaha — really, audition for SNL, use that
article, your [sic] sure to get hired!"
>
> One went the extra mile to make fun of Jully (pronounced like
Julie) Lee, who was nominated for her performance in East West
Players' and the Fountain Theatre's "Hannah and the Dread
Gazebo." Wrote the reader: "How do you say her name? Is it Jelly
or Jolly?"
>
> I was so disheartened to read these comments. The Ovation
Awards' snafus — and some of our readers' reactions to the news
coverage of them — are emblematic of the casual racism in the
theater world and the world at large.
>
> Mispronouncing someone's name, accidentally or on purpose, at
the very least demonstrates a selective laziness to learn the
correct way to address or acknowledge a person. The name is
perceived as particularly difficult only because it's beyond the
white European names that have been deemed normal. (For some
reason, an effort can be made for a white person with an unusual
name, as Hasan Minhaj explained while on "The Ellen DeGeneres
Show" in 2019. "They're always like, 'I'm so sorry, I can't
pronounce it. Meet my son, Higsby Witherthrottle III!'" he said.
"If you can pronounce Ansel Elgort, you can pronounce Hasan
Minhaj.")
>
> When done willfully, it's a conscious decision to weaponize
one's name — a deeply personal signifier of ethnic background
and family lineage — against them, othering and invalidating
them in a culture that already upholds white supremacy. This was
the strategy of former Georgia Sen. David Perdue in referring to
Kamala Harris, his Senate colleague and the Democratic nominee
for vice president at the time, as "KAH-mah-lah? Kah-MAH'-lah?
Kamala-mala-mala. I don’t know — whatever." (Perdue's move
instead sparked a viral campaign in which people shared the
origins of their names on social media.)
>
> Such encounters sprout name-based microaggressions like
"assignment of an unwanted nickname, assumptions and biases
about an individual based on their name, and teasing from peers
and educators due to cultural aspects of a name," according to
Ranjana Srinivasan, whose research advocates for the mental
health of South Asian Americans.
>
> People like my parents hoped to shield me by assigning me an
Anglicized given name at birth. Making my name more convenient
for others was a defensive move: to lessen the likelihood of
being bullied about my race and to up my chances of blending in,
belonging and being seen as equal to my peers.
>
> "This is what it is to grow up as a person of color in a
white-dominated world," wrote Kelly Marie Tran in a 2018 New
York Times piece in which she reflected on her parents' adopted
American names and included her Vietnamese name: Loan. "I want
to live in a world where children of color don’t spend their
entire adolescence wishing to be white. … I want to live in a
world where people of all races, religions, socioeconomic
classes, sexual orientations, gender identities and abilities
are seen as what they have always been: human beings."
>
> The Ovation Awards took place shortly after the documented
hesitancy to deem the killings of six Asian women in Atlanta a
hate crime instead of a sex addict's "really bad day." In the
days that followed the attack — one of many acts of violence on
people of Asian descent, which have risen significantly during
the pandemic — these women's names were repeatedly misspelled
and mispronounced by the media. It all echoes the pervasive
invisibility of Asians in America, where your name isn't worth
saying correctly, whether you're an actor in an Oscar-winning
movie or a slain victim of senseless gun violence.

HTML https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Vincent_Chin
HTML [url]http://Vincent Jen Chin (Chinese: 陳果仁,
Pinyin: Chén Guǒrén; May 18, 1955 – June 23, 1982) was a
Chinese American draftsman who was beaten to death by two white
men, Chrysler plant supervisor Ronald Ebens and his stepson,
laid-off autoworker Michael Nitz.
Ebens and Nitz assailed Chin following a brawl that took place
at a strip club in Highland Park, Michigan, where Chin had been
celebrating his bachelor party with friends in advance of his
upcoming wedding. They apparently assumed Chin was of Japanese
descent and are alleged to have used racial slurs as they
attacked him. Ebens and Nitz blamed him for the success of
Japan's auto industry, despite the fact that Chin was of Chinese
descent.
At the time, Metro Detroit was a powder keg of racial animosity
toward Asian Americans, specifically as the penetration of
Japanese automotive imports in the U.S. domestic market hastened
the decline of Detroit's Big Three. Resentful workers laid the
blame for recent layoffs on Japanese competition.
Chin was taken to Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, where a nurse
told his childhood friend that "he has no chance" and that "his
brain was dead." He died of his injuries four days later.[1]
Ebens and Nitz were charged with second-degree murder but
bargained the charges down to manslaughter and pleaded guilty in
1983. They were ordered to pay $3,000 and serve three years'
probation, with no jail time. While Ebens and Nitz never denied
the brawl, they claimed the fight was not racially motivated and
said they did not use racial epithets.[2]
The lenient sentence led to a vocal outcry from Asian Americans.
The president of the Detroit Chinese Welfare Council said it
amounted to a "$3,000 license to kill" Chinese Americans. As a
result, the case has been viewed as a critical turning point for
Asian American civil rights engagement and a rallying cry for
stronger federal hate crime legislation.[3][/url]
It was only after such persistent efforts by the Chinese
American and Asian communities to pursue for more justice that
the 1982 Vincent Chin case caught attention and became known as
a classic case in modern times of a racist hate crime against
Chinese civilians by the whites.
It makes me wonder how many more 'Vincent Chins' would have been
murdered if testimonies by Chinese Americans had continued to be
banned by the Chinese Exclusion Act.
HTML [url]http://When were Chinese Americans allowed to testify?
Chinese Americans were finally allowed to testify in court after
the 1882 trial of laborer Yee Shun, though it would take decades
for the immigration ban to be lifted. The Supreme Court upheld
the Geary Act in Fong Yue Ting v. United States in 1893, and in
1902 Chinese immigration was made permanently illegal.[/url]

> A daycare center in Roswell, Ga., has come under fire after
being accused of feeding white children first while all the

his two-year-old via live stream video and noticed the incident
he described as disturbing and discriminatory.

Adryan McCauley told CBS 46 of what he said he witnessed at the

kids got their lunch, and all the Black kids had to wait. From
the videos and pictures that we saw today, we are just
completely disturbed.”

video footage they saw and “went straight to the daycare to
confront the staff,” CBS reports.

‘I’m not really sure because I’m not in the classroom, maybe
it’s a dietary thing,’” McCauley said.

thing” and that said exclusively Black “dietary thing” would
justify Black children having to wait while their white

Chinese people has launched a debate about racism, and satire,
in Italy.

> While Asian and Black activists took to social media to share
their experiences with racism growing up in Italy, including how
it can be fomented by satire, the TV hosts at the center of the
uproar said Thursday they have been subjected to a “wave of
hatred,” including death threats.

show “Striscia la Notizia” (“The News Crawls”) on the private

made slanted-eye gestures and mimicked a Chinese accent as they
introduced a segment.

They did not apologize, as they have not removed their own eyes

an interview published a day after she apologized on Instagram.
“We were in good faith: we are very sorry knowing that we bumped
against the sensitivity of someone. But what is happening is
frightening: we received a real wave of hatred that is being
spread in an instrumentalized way.”

Not only is this not an apology, it is portraying herself as the
victim, her behaviour hence matching her subhuman face:

The real problem is that too many victims of racist bullying,
instead of seeing racists as inferior, see themselves as
inferior. This is why we need:

The irony of subhumans such as Hunziker and Scotti making fun of
other people's looks should be funny, but we here seem to be the
only ones able to perceive it, as everyone else remains blinded
by Eurocentrism.
