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/

2/ Take that information in: It's *280* times greater.

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

Here'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's *280* times greater in the US, and it doesn't even ever get discussed. That'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.”
