Isn't killing anyone in itself a hateful act?

[americanpaisareturns]

Chinavirus is not a hateful term. It’s specifically stating where the virus came from. COVID-19 did in fact come from China.

[uppermostking]

it's called get a gun and defend yourself.

[bobbyjohnson]

Stop Asian hate I stand with you and I’m black

[marksimmons]

Fun fact: there has been no rise in Asian hate.

Where are they when we have issues with hate crime. I'm sorry I have Asian friends but some of these businesses have showed racism by not hire African Americans in Orange County in the boutiques or restaurants they hire Young Mexican women what about hire Young Caucasian women or older women. American women. I dont condone Hate Crimes. Maybe the reason why they ate targeted, because they are racist honestly like they are not for Equal Opportunity in America they hire they're own and only Mexican women and men from Mexico thay only speak Spanish that's not fair.
