1/ The often mind-blowing disproportionality of black violent crime in the US becomes truly astonishing when you consider black-on-Asian crime.

“Black-on-Asian crime is 280 times more common than Asian-on-black crime” https://www.asian-dawn.com/2020/05/18/black-on-asian-crime-statistics-by-justice-department/">https://www.asian-dawn.com/2020/05/1...

2/ Take that information in: It& #39;s *280* times greater.

Is there a starker discrepancy in outcomes in any other area of American life than this?

Here& #39;s a link to the official report of DOJ/BJS containing the underlying data.

3/ In any *properly* functioning society, if black-on-Asian crime were even twice that of Asian-on-black crime, the issue would be a policy priority. In such a society, it would be a national emergency if it were ten times greater.

4/ But it& #39;s *280* times greater in the US, and it doesn& #39;t even ever get discussed. That& #39;s how profoundly dysfunctional America is when it comes to race, and how no “conversation” will ever be possible until these issues can be discussed outside the false framing of “racism.”
