Violence against Asians is on the rise, hate crimes are up 1900%. And I also don't care how so-called 'pc' reporting Asian hate crimes is. It's very obviously anti-black. Every time Asian-Americans are on the news it's always oriented towards how good they conform to white society. You don't hear about the pain and suffering Asian people have to go through and this leaves ingredients for reactionary behavior. A news reporter referred to Black people as 'the Blacks' the other day. If you look at twitter, reddit, and tiktok comments, there are tons of trolls, the ignorant, and reactionaries stirring up trouble.
A lot of comments from both communities are, "where were asians/blacks when tragedy xyz happened?" A better question is, how come there's a lack of coverage of when both communities come together since the 60s? The media is pitting both communities against each other to cover up the fact that America has failed Black people in all facets of life, and to cover up for its lack of covid-19 prevention.

I agree, there's some really fucked up anti-black sentiment in parts of the Asian community. Conversely, there's also some really fucked up anti-Asian sentiment in parts of the black community, some of which I have personally experienced. Certainly, there is no group of people who are free of bigotry.
The only way to move past these issues is to engage in constructive inter-minority dialogue. This is also how we can come together and overcome white supremacy.
The main reason that I think wreckers are involved is that some people seem dead set on steering the conversation into a dead end, with nothing but recriminations and isolation instead of understanding and solidarity.
But, like I said, they could just be stupid and racist.
