And some wonder why Asian hate crimes are increasing.

Nonsense, every year seasonal flu starts in Asia, it has been called Asian flu or some variation from day one.

Almost all Asian hate crime is instigated by blacks and Muslims and almost all Muslim crime is fabricated.



Protesters call for apology from Trudeau after false hijab-cutting incident

Hundreds of people gathered on Sunday in downtown Vancouver with signs asking Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to apologize for how he dealt with what’s being called the “hijab hoax” incident.

Hundreds of people gathered on Sunday in downtown Vancouver with signs asking Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to apologize for how he dealt with what’s being called the “hijab hoax” incident.

Protesters were holding signs such as “Trudeau do not split Canadians”, “Trudeau apologize”, “all Canadians are equal” and “we will vote” in front of Vancouver Art Gallery.

The so-called “hijab hoax” happened last month, when an 11-year-old girl accused somebody of trying to cut her hijab. At the time, reports said Toronto police were seeking an Asian suspect in his 20s.

Trudeau spoke out on Twitter, saying “incidents like this cannot be tolerated.” However, Toronto Police later reported “the incident did not happen”

Many of the protesters are Asian Canadians and said Trudeau failed to stand up for Asians in his response to the incident that it never happened.

“This is fake news, but I don’t understand how it got reported by multiple media outlets within 45 minutes after it happened,” one protester identified herself as Lee told Dushi Bao.

“We want Justin Trudeau to apologize, as he made a biased speech before police investigation in regards to this incident.”

Another protester Yang Wang said the incident happened at the block where mainly Asians reside, “that’s why Asian people feel hurt the most and we don’t want to have fake hate in between different minorities.”

“We also had another protests Jan. 20 in Vancouver and Toronto, but it is frustrating that most mainstream media did not report on this, which is unacceptable for us,” said Tanya Gaw, another protester.

—With files from Dushi Bao.

People also flooded Trudeau’s twitter with 3500 comments, among them many asked him to apologize.

#HijabHoax Canadians deserve at least a apologize from the family otherwise this episode will be setting precedent due its sense of impunity.As Canadians we embrance multiculturalism but we don't deserve to be taken advantage of. Respect goes both way. @TorontoPolice @tdsb @CP24

Apologies need to come from the School board, journalists & media, muslim advocacy groups & POLITICIANS who so uncritically jumped on this story because they SO WANTED it to be true. It fitted their narrative & allowed them to virtue signal. Apologise now

"Hate crime" No such thing. if someone bangs you over the head and takes your wallet it doesnt matter what race you are. Your head still hurts and your wallet is gone. The term "hate crime" is contributing to racial division in society. It basically says someones life is more valuable than anothers because of their race so the punishment for said crime can be worse. Bad policy

Has it been proven that is the reason the blacks are attacking Asians?

Wharfie,
And some wonder why Asian hate crimes are increasing.
No matter how much "wokeness" you inject into American politics, American culture, and American social media censorship, you're never going to eliminate prejudice.

The fact that COVID-19 came from China will always spur on prejudice.

And not just America, either, but across the world as well. You think Asians don't face COVID-related prejudice in Europe? Africa, especially the Chinese communities that pop up around Chinese-funded infrastructure projects?

Even non-Chinese Asians look upon Chinese people these days with suspicion.

Check out this YouTube channel, for example. Very pro-India, they insist on calling COVID-19 the "Wuhan virus":
