    Hello darkness, my old friend
    That's fine, I thought you were alleging that black people were currently targeting Asian Americans, not that you've had a potentially worrisome run-in with a black person before. I'm glad you were able to diffuse it.

    I don't think black people are targeting asians. Its just that when asians have been harassed or assaulted, it seems to always be blacks doing it. Most have been in major metropolitan urban areas and public transit (I am not frequent on public transit, I was actually getting my brakes done and took a bus down the street to get a haircut when I got accosted). Add that with my personal experience, its smarter to be situationally aware.

    I live in LA, there aren't a lot of "good ol boys" with confederate flags out where I am. If I was in Tennessee or some flyoverville, I'd be looking out for white people in lifted trucks

    I live in an urban setting, so it is what it is.

    Another consideration is the people at the grocery or out in public as panic settles in. Its smarter to have weapons on you in crazy times like this. As unemployment soars, there will be more property crime, carjackings, break ins, muggings, etc.

    It's a thing.

    "But Mo participated in a 2008 survey by the Police Department in which about 300 strong-arm robberies were analyzed. "In 85 percent of the physical assault crimes, the victims were Asian and the perpetrators were African American," she said."

    Social worker, 39, who was 'in good health' is found dead by her boyfriend while awaiting coronavirus results after first turning test down to allow elderly to use them
    • Natasha Ott, 39, died inside her New Orleans home Friday, five days after taking a test for Covid-19
    • Ott first came down with mild cold symptoms on March 10, but turned down an available coronavirus test at her place of work, believing she was low-risk
    • Ott's symptoms worsened over the coming days, and she went on to take Covid-19 test after feeling feverish and fatigued
    • Ott texted her boyfriend last Friday, saying she felt 'a little better and hopeful'
    • She was found dead later that evening on her kitchen floor; her coronavirus test results are still pending
    • More than 25,000 Americans have tested positive to Covid-19, and 308 have died

    I hate how home Depot requires you to pick up a scanner for self checkout, couldn't get to my hand sanitizer fast enough.

    Didn't even take a day. Now in 3rd place. We need to at least double to catch Italy, so that might take what, another 3 days? We are on a roll, baby!

    One anecdote out of Millions. Do you consider that statistically significant?

    Where are your links showing any kind of statistical significance?
