THE HOUSE THAT MAGA BUILT: YU CHANG RECEIVES RACIST TWEETS AFTER COSTLY ERROR.
Cleveland Indians infielder Yu Chang shared on Twitter that he received racist social media messages after his decisive throwing error in Clevelandās loss Monday to the White Sox.
āExercise your freedom of speech in a right way, I accept all comments, positive or negative but DEFINITELY NOT RACIST ONES,ā Chang, a native of Taiwan, tweeted early Tuesday morning. āThank you all and love you all. #StopAsianHate.ā
Changās tweet included a screenshot of racist, anti-Asian social media messages he purportedly received from three different users. Two of the accounts no longer existed as of Tuesday morning, and the third is private."
Very unfortunate, these types of things didnāt happen before our national bad decision. Another casualty of the poor judgement of Trump supporters. Kid works hard and deserves better than 1946 āGreatā America.

Definitely not to the degree where such large groups of people felt emboldened with a hall pass to act this way, consistently. Trump definitely winked them into going there more.

Tbe Asian players from TW werenāt subject to this previously. Its a recent development. People feel emboldened. Too bad he has to put up with this.
Yes, racism has always existed, thank you for that breakdown.
Clearly itās becoming a more prevalent problem, I wonder who that coincides with?

The liberal arts are amazingly broad, and while your average structural engineer major applying that degree in his field probably makes more than the average liberal arts major, the ceiling is higher on the liberal arts side.
Liberal arts also do not preclude STEM majors (you do know what those letters stand for, eh?), which is where you were originally headed, before you detoured into the liberal arts.
Thanks, Obama!

They say reading is your friend:
The research released by reporting forum Stop AAPI Hate on Tuesday revealed nearly 3,800 incidents were reported over the course of roughly a year during the pandemic. Itās a significantly higher number than last yearās count of about 2,600 hate incidents nationwide over the span of five months. Women made up a far higher share of the reports, at 68 percent, compared to men, who made up 29 percent of respondents. The nonprofit does not report incidents to police.

I think itās a positive sign of the times that people feel safe enough to report incidents such as these. However, the numbers as they say, are there enough to add up to the conclusion you seem to want to draw.
For your reading, not that it is a friend, but a source of factual data, unrelated to emotional bias.

Yet even the FBIās data is incomplete when it comes to Anti Asian hate crimes:
The best source of data on hate crimes in the United States comes from the FBIās collection. Under the Hate Crimes Statistics Act of 1990, the attorney general is required to collect and report each year on ācrimes that manifest evidence of prejudice based on race, gender and gender identity, religion, disability, sexual orientation, or ethnicity.ā Individual agencies collect data on hate crimes and report them to the FBI, which has published a report each year since 1992.
Itās tempting to use the FBIās data to evaluate national hate crimes trends. But this data is fraught with problems that make analyzing hate crimes trends mostly impossible. The FBIās data is certainly better than nothing, but the numbers produced by the bureau each year are not particularly useful for several reasons.
To begin with, hate crimes data reported by the FBI does not attempt to account for agencies that did not report or reported incomplete data. As a result, national hate crimes data is better thought of as a floor, rather than an accurate figure to be cited authoritatively.
The FBI reports annual national crime statistics through the Uniform Crime Report. But not all agencies send in a full year of data every year, so the FBI takes data from the majority of agencies with complete data and estimates counts from the agencies that either did not report or reported incomplete data to build a national estimate of major crimes each year. With hate crimes, by contrast, the FBI simply reports the number of crimes reported as the total number of hate crimes. As a result, national hate crimes statistics often just reflect how many agencies complied with guidelines to report such incidents. Without a true estimate of hate crimes, it is largely impossible to say whether an increase in reported hate crimes nationally indicates that more crimes occurred, or if agencies simply did a better job reporting incidents.
Whatās more, national hate crimes data is impossibly delayed. Regular crime data is reported at the end of September of the following yearābut hate crimes data is released even later, in mid-November. So, if you want to even hazard a guess as to whether anti-Asian hate crimes increased nationally in March 2020, around when the coronavirus pandemic arrived in much of the United States, you will have to wait until November 2021 to access that flawed data.
Another major challenge with hate crimes data is that collection depends on local law enforcement agencies. In 2019, the FBI touted 15,588 law enforcement agencies across the country that participated in the hate crimes programābut far fewer agencies report data each year. As the Anti-Defamation League writes, ā[T]he FBIās report is based on voluntary local law enforcement reporting to the Bureau. In 2019, 86 percent of participating agencies didnāt report a single hate crime to the FBI, including at least 71 cities with populations over 100,000. Just over 2,000, or 14 percent, of the more than 15,000 participating agencies actively reported at least one hate crime.ā
Itās interesting to see more reporting. I think some past events may not been reported as anti-Asian and now that people think about it more they report it or just feel it more that something is odd. Example, not of a crime but of an event. My Taiwan uni teacher was in the South-Eastern USA and drove too fast on the motorway a few years ago. The police (two of them) stopped him and walked to his car with guns in their hands yelling at him keep his hands up. He thought it was SOP for police in the USA but after talking about it recently with an American here in Taiwan it seems itās not normal so we thought maybe because he is Asian. I think an example like this sometimes you think its normal at the time but come to find out it is not.

Changing times and all I suppose. More women report sexual assault now too. Thatās a very good thing. It doesnāt however CONCLUDE that more women are being sexually assaulted.
