When they go out unaccompanied, they will be visited with endless, unrelenting racist verbal and physical attacks, coming almost entirely from young black males. That would be reality, rather than \u2018news.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>For purposes of racial despoliation, Asians are white. So, too, most Hispanics. How can that be so? Because \u2018white\u2019 means Ant, and Ants are to have been devoured by Grasshoppers. The people who denounce \u2018white supremacists\u2019 insist that you are one if you respond appropriately to values and incentives \u2013 no matter what your skin color.<\/p>\n<p>Bad news for everyone, worse news for Asian kids who bust their asses believing that America is a meritocracy.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In big cities, poor Asian people are routinely persecuted by poor black people. It was ever thus: The police have never done a good job of protecting Asian people, not until they move into the tonier neighborhoods. That would be actual racism built into the system, and poor black and brown people have every right to complain about it, too.<\/p>\n<p>But: Since George Floyd found sobriety, the police are standing down, especially in big cities. Every pre-existing crime problem will have gotten worse, including abuses by black people against Asian people. That would be the news, if the purpose of news reporting was telling the truth, instead of sliming Donald Trump, his supporters and white people in general.<\/p>\n<p>For my money, Asian people are fools to get sucked into this racist game, since they are already its designated losers, but perhaps it&#8217;s strategy: You can&#8217;t join the Grasshoppers without demonstrating a complete hostility to facts, after all.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>In other news:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>The New York Post:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2021\/03\/20\/top-finance-tech-firms-mulling-ny-exodus-over-proposed-tax-hike\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Top finance, tech firms mulling NY exodus over proposed tax hike.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Bonchie:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/redstate.com\/bonchie\/2021\/03\/20\/california-couple-buys-their-dream-home-what-happens-next-will-infuriate-you-n347063\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">California Couple Buys Their Dream Home, What Happens Next Will Absolutely Infuriate You.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>The Libertarian Republic:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/thelibertarianrepublic.com\/dear-white-liberals-asians-arent-your-pawns\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dear <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloodhoundrealty.com\/BloodhoundBlog\/17983\/overnight-news-sleeping-with-the-enemy-asians-are-the-ants-grasshoppers-love-to-hate\/#more-17983\" class=\"more-link\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cThe Big Lie is the one you are forbidden to deny.\u201dI do so love being ahead of the news.
