When the facts started not to fit the narrative, though, the mainstream media had to double down on their efforts. Newspapers, social media, and the cable pundits were quick to call this evil act one that was motivated white supremacy.
And, unfortunately, the larger the violence, the more complex the effort to make the violence fit the desired motivation, which brings us to the most heinous act that has occurred recently: the shooting and killing of eight Asian Americans by a crazed gunman in Georgia.Īs is all too common in our society now, the narrative was put out before the bodies could be laid to rest. The racial narrative for these attacks was nowhere to be found.įacts do not matter in the narrative business, though. Amongst the violence reported by Riley was a 61-year-old man who had his face sliced with a box cutter - requiring around 100 stitches, A 36-year-old who was sexually assaulted in a park and who later died of “blunt-force trauma to the head,” and an 84-year-old man shoved to the ground on a city street. These cases did not get regarded nearly the same. Wall Street Journal columnist Jason Riley pointed this out in February when he named several heinous crimes perpetrated against Asians where the attacker was black. They earn their overtime pay by then attributing the crime’s motivation to white supremacy spurred on by former President Donald Trump. This is why, despite crime surging in nearly every major American city over the past year, the media has focused intensely on crimes where the victim is Asian. To make a common cause with Asian Americans, the media has begun a paint-by-numbers campaign to attribute any crime against the people as a crime motivated by white hatred. The catch is they can only be oppressed by means of white supremacy pay no attention to the progressive mayor behind the curtain. Instead, they plan to strip these Americans of their individuality and group them together based on race by making them fellow travelers of the oppressed. If this were almost any other racial group, these universities would be harangued for their bias and canceled.īut the left has no intentions of changing any of their views on this to win over Asians. Often, these student groups say the system demotes them based on their personality.
Asian student groups have been suing in New York and California because ivy-league universities have been using a “holistic system” to rank them lower. These attacks don’t just focus on secondary school either. The mayor has been trying to jettison the merit-based admissions standards for years to promote “equity.” This does not even begin to address New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio’s attacks that too many Asians are admitted to the city’s prestigious private schools. Even in deep-blue California, the effort failed - which should have served as the first indicator that the progress plan of equating everything to an intersectional review system was not a winning strategy. For example, last year, California waged a costly campaign to revive affirmative action in admissions to its universities. The first thing Democrats will have to atone for is their racist attitude toward the Asian American’s success at getting admitted to selective schools.
If we were to stick with racism, Congress would have to condemn Ilhan Omar for her rampant anti-Semitism. Keeping our national sin limited to the simple catch-all of racism leaves vulnerable anyone who may have exhibited hatred of another group or contradicted standards set-forth by the anti-racist movement.įor example, if we stick to the simple belief that racism is bad - which it is - then The New York Times would have to punish Nikole Hannah Jones, author of the 1619 project, for using the same racial slur that caused the paper of record to fire science reporter Donald McNeil.
