A couple days ago I saw on the Yahoo news feed a story titled "Asian man hospitalized after injuries sustained in beating". Clicking the link took me to a story in which buried in the middle was the info that the incident started with a dispute over dog poop or something. That the authorities did not believe it was race related.
And if it was race related, of course, one must measure, or attempt to measure, the degree of race related hatred amongst the various combinations of skin colors. But that doesn't sell. Only paranoia sells.

Uber is smart to take advantage of free advertising. I can see the marketing department getting all excited about the gift given to them to virtue signal and get out of hell for only having contractors and not employees? Think about that they love their vulnerable non employee population. LOL

You're obviously a white supremacist, at least on the inside.

The actual answer may be: "Oh that's just actual racism, not systemic racism. So nothing to get too worried about. Some people are just racist."

Just show me the beat downs by race both the perp and the victim and compare to the population.

Realistically - that wouldn't tell you much.
I think people who beat down strangers is highly correlated to other factors. Certain minorities exist in concentrations different from their overall concentration in the country.
You can do a bunch of analysis here even if you had really good data - still wouldn't tell you much.

Would my analysis be better or worse than what the media doing?

Well, anything would be better than what the media is doing.
I just don’t think there’s a gargantuan sea shift that happened towards Asians in the last few months.Anyone who started hating Asians in America over events in the last few months is beyond helping anyways.

BTW, maybe our New York guy has more than Asian hate.
Most people don't murder their mother...

Remind me again with all the beat downs that happen on a daily basis why this one in particular received so much publicity and so many others didn’t?

Because it fit the narrative.
But this white guy sure does have a deep tan...

I saw that on the news yesterday or the day before. She was just walking down the street, as was he. He knocked her down and was kicking this woman for no reason whatsoever other than sheer meanness. Three African American men just inside the door where this took place did not go to help her even after he left. They just closed the door and turned away.
Rabid animals. It doesn't help that the media is now creating anti-Asian sentiment.

Yes it is. You have to wonder whether this would have happened without the relentless media suggestions.

WW II created some anti-Asian sentiment.
But that has mostly dissipated.
Other than that, yes, the media obviously recently started stirring.

Remember when Rick Moranis got sucker punched in the face by a random young urban gentleman? The only reason anybody ever heard about it was because he is a celebrity.
It’s fascinating watching the media create narratives at will, purely out of anecdote culled from a society of hundreds of millions.
