It is no secret that Democrats in general, and the Biden administration in particular, are determined to balkanize America as a means of attaining unassailable power. Their biggest hammer is âsystemic racism,â a contemptible effort manifest in terms of the historically fraudulent 1619 Project and Critical Race Theory agendas being promulgated in both the private and public sectors throughout the nation. In short, that agenda comes down to all whites being âprivilegedâ and all minorities being âvictimized.â That both assumptions are racist to the core is only relevant in terms of maintenance: The systemic racism lie must be repeated often enough so it becomes the truth, and minority groups must be continually convinced they have no hope unless they vote for bigger government controlled by Democrats. What if one minority group refuses to play along?

The mass shooting in Atlanta on March 16, which took the lives of six Asian women among the eight victims, appears to be a one-off event – the violent act of a deeply troubled 21-year-old man who, according to what he told the police, was trying to wipe away sexual temptation, in the form of massage parlors that he felt guilty patronizing.
But that s not how the incident was treated by the Asian American commentariat. Instead, a consensus quickly formed among journalists, scholars, and cultural figures writing op-eds and giving broadcast interviews that the shooting represented a pervasive, historical victimization by Asian people at the hands of the white majority. It was almost as if shootings of Asian women by white gunmen were an everyday occurrence, rather than a singular, exceedingly rare event.

A study conducted by UC Berkeley researchers under the Asian Law Caucus found that some essential workers in California were not provided necessary protective equipment such as masks and gloves during work hours, in addition to not being paid minimum wage.
Some of these workers, many of whom are low income and Asian or Latinx, were allegedly penalized for speaking out against poor working conditions and lack of protective equipment, according to the study.
“Too many workers lack adequate COVID-19 protections and those in lower-wage industries are disproportionately impacted,” said co-author of the study Alejandra Domenzain in an email.
Researchers issued a 28-question survey over the course of a couple of months and focused on 636 low-income workers, who identified as mainly Asian and Latinx. Many of the respondents worked in restaurant, janitorial, hospitality and domestic and home health care settings, according to Domenzain.
