Has anyone provided an iota of evidence that what is driving this horrific surge of anti-Asian violence is "white supremacist domestic terror"?That would require data showing who is primarily perpetrating the violence and with what motive. Where is that? https://t.co/7p7mUmloDW— Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) March 17, 2021
There's obviously a rise of sinophobic violence in this country and I don't doubt for a second that racism and sexism are to blame here. That said, there's equal evidence in what you just said that this guy hated massage parlors.
He doesn't hate the women and workers at the parlor, just the idea of the parlor itself.
I don't think that's a very good line of reasoning. By that logic there's also evidence that the guy merely hates shops that are open late, because both of these places where open late.
That's not exactly what I'm saying. Just that if you can make a connection between him targeting women or Asians, you can make a connection with him targeting massage parlors. It's not like he went and shot up a Chinese food restaurant or something. He went after a specific type of business.
