If you notice, all of the vicious attacks on anybody who’s Asian are done by African Americans. Yet they want respect and want their lives to matter?? He** no!!!! When the Asians protested, there was no violence, nothing thrown at anybody, no stores broken into or vandalized or merchandise stolen. It was the perfect definition of a peaceful demonstration or march. Asians have always been very hard working people and unlike other groups, they don’t have Section 8 housing, NYS benefit cards and wear Air Jordans and tons of jewelry as if they actually had a job that could pay for all of that. When blacks are attacked, all of the politicians come out in full force. Where are they now?
