I do remember when David Dinkins was mayor of NYC in the late 1980's, there were a number of racial incidents between Blacks and Orthodox Jews in Crown Heights and Blacks and a Korean grocery in Brooklyn ( forget the neighborhood.) If I recall correctly, the blacks in the neighborhood didn't like the Korean grocery because they said he was unfriendly. Little did they know ( or care) that the Korean grocer didn't speak English. The blacks in the neighborhood really went ballistic against this Korean grocer. I thought it was pretty sick and so did most Caucasians who ended up voting Dinkin's out of office for failing to stand up to his own people. I only mention this because not every racial incidents fits the same profile. But there is no question that many lower middle to middle income Caucasians trashed Asians when they began to move into Flushing. And the most common line they gave for their hostility was that Asians were taking away there jobs. If you want to deny that go ahead. But it fits right into the Trump administration's insistence that China is the source of America's economic problems. Those who commit racial crimes against Asians in the US don't distinguish between Asian Americans and Asians who live in Southeast Asia.
