Well then trot over to Gawker if you’re looking for discussion or insight right at this very minute or just wait the couple hours for it to appear here.

Some Azn folks have taken the model minority thing a little to heart. The biggest irony is that China never attempted to do in Africa what Europeans have done and continue to do. I just hope they wake up.

Yeah, yeah. That’s what they’d like to think. I’m classified as white, too. But I look nothing like a white person if you get what I’m saying.

Killing blacks is part of Americana, regardless of who does the killing.

Did you think they weren’t going to cover this?

Estupido is right. We cannot lose sight of the fact that the same social relations are at work in S. American locales as well, involving violence against Indigenous peoples and Afro-Latinos. The problem is especially bad in Brazil where loggers kill Amazonian tribal peoples with impunity and police in the cities often…

The fact that they are minorities doesn’t bother me as much as they allowed their own delusions to carry them away. Non-black minorities have to understand they aren’t safe either.

I think demanding everything in one story is being intentionally myopic.

It’s funny that you mention the media denying them attention as you bemoan the lack of coverage on another topic entirely. You are part of the problem.

That’s because Asians like to kiss white ass. Everyone who is non-Asian POC knows it and that’s why they are distrusted.

So, you're saying every article ever written should have every piece of information ever within them?

Gawker is on top of it, chief. Thanks.

Yes. How dare they make you read the news on the news instead of a blog. THE NERVE.

I saw a bunch of weirdly racist tweets against Asians yesterday, when they thought the officer was Asian (there were also calls to acknowledge racism in the Asian community, but there was a lot of racism too) - and it’s just...idk.

So go to the right thread.

I dunno. Conservatives defended George Zimmerman who is latino. People claimed that NYPD officer Peter Liang who killed Akai Gurley would end up being offered as a sacrificial scapegoat because he’s asian. In the end, he avoided jail time.

No comment on the rest of it because I agree, but before this it was widely thought that the cop was Asian (she mistakenly, understandably, describes him as Asian in the live video, IIRC). People were using that as an excuse already so I don’t have much hope that the knowledge of his actual ethnicity will change…

I don’t doubt that the Dallas shootings will be covered by Jezebel, but this particular article is an almost-live update on Philando Castilo, not an in-depth analysis of the current state of gun violence, racial profiling, and police brutality in America. If it were I do not doubt that the Dallas shootings would be…

That was exactly what I thought when I saw he was Latino as well. “Oh now it will be ok because he’s not white. Now society can safely condemn it.” SMH

This will devolve into some Latino-bashing. I don’t think it’ll help to solve any of the endemic issues surrounding police violence. It will simply devolve into the police union hanging this guy out to dry, Fox News trying to pit Latinos against blacks and an uptick in anti-Latino violence. If this cop was white, they…
