The pattern continues. Larry says nothing.

It's pretty clear who is going after Asians, in almost every incidence reported in the last few months. And they don't look like Trump supporters.
Reading the story,  it appears to be a robbery not a racially based attack.   And you post no DOJ or other sources of stats on all of the attacks on Asians.   So no,  it's not "pretty clear. "

Don't blame me for your ignorance. I've posted incident after incident and the profile has been virtually the same each time. If you don't read the news, that's on you.

Hard to consider that Harry and Meghan, two whining entitled twits, desrve any real sympathy for their "difficult lives", as they described them from their Santa Barbara retreat.

Really? You experienced "racism"?

Look where these folks have to live (in converted shipping containers) and then tell THEM about your hardships and how Daddy won't take your phone call and how they were mean to you and you were "trapped" in the palace!

And screw Oprah for her faux dismay at the fallen Royals' trials and tribulations, when people who she could be exposing to the world who are experiencing true hardship go unnoticed by the Talk Queen.

Elizabeth II isn't the only queen who is too far removed from her people's lives.


Seriously, just STFU!

Precedence has already been set for marrying a divorced commoner? Let them go and pay their expenses.  Save some tax money because she is bi-racial?

There are black salons in the area - but they were not targeted.

What - the Asians have better hair product?

Hmm,  or it's that Asian proprietors are perceived as having more money.  Or the attackers know the proprietors of the nearby black salon and wish to elude being identified by the victim.   Again,  where is the data showing these are hate crimes based on racial animus?   Criminals often have pragmatic motivations. 

It may be racially based,  in some cases,  but when there are also economic or tactical reasons, it's not so simple.  If all the really successful salons were owned by Hungarians, I would expect they'd be the targeted group.   Why did Willie Sutton rob banks?...

And neither you nor Uno succeed in connecting all this to the current wave of anti Asian attacks which seems to be driven by covid fears and not intent to commit robbery.

Uno often says he wants serious in-depth discussions of issues,  where people dig deeper,  but I am not sure he's happy with that in every case.

Suppressing Black Votes: A Historical Case Study of Voting Restrictions in Louisiana
Published online by Cambridge University Press:  05 March 2021

The abstract:
Quote
Southern states have used a variety of methods to disenfranchise African American voters. Empirical data on the effectiveness of these measures is rare. We present a unique data source from Louisiana that allows us to empirically document voter registration rates from the end of Reconstruction to the present. Using basic time series data, we document how voter registration rates changed over time in response to state restrictions. We then conduct a second analysis, which focuses on Louisiana’s use of the Understanding Clause to reduce voter registration among Blacks. We show that in parishes that used the Understanding Clause, Black registration rates dropped by nearly 30 percentage points, with little effect on white registration. The findings of this paper have important implications for understanding the potential for discrimination in the enforcement of modern, ostensibly nonracial, voter eligibility requirements, such as voter ID laws, which grant substantial discretion to local officials in determining voter eligibility.

"Nobody" would seem to include the broad swath of posters.

But it seems to me that there have been bunches of posts about Biden's work, pro and con. Do you wish assistance in finding them?

understandably nobody wants to actually discuss Biden.

Further, there are many things the administration is doing that could be discussed which could be analyzed, even less than 50 days from inauguration. Failings, while somewhat visible, are harder simply because it is still so early on, but even there some notable gaps are present - both what has been handed setbacks and what is not currently on their table.

And some of those issues, + and -, have been presented.

None of them requires personal attacking (including by me).
