Racism has become such a strong trend in the United States, greater in many ways than even the 1950s and 1960s, that the other day I ran a report on Asian Americans arming themselves because of a gross increase in racist hate crimes aimed at them by White MAGAts.  Here are some facts explaining why they feel as they do. This report is almost a year old, but one of the most recent I could get, and the situation is even worse in 2023 than it was in 2022. When one sees this in the context of Marjorie Taylor Greene advocating splitting the country into two countries, and all the other racist crap that pours out of Fox propaganda and the other MAGAt media, it is becoming clear that the Great Schism Trend is reaching a real crisis level.  What the MAGAt schism advocates don't seem to understand, however, is that the Red states depend on the support of the Blue states to function.

The big picture: The anti-Asian hate crisis has given AAPIs new visibility, but the harassment and violence haven’t abated. The share of Americans who wrongly blame COVID on people of Asian descent grew between 2021 and 2022, fueling anxiety about sustained attacks as the world navigates the third year of the pandemic.

By the numbers: Between March 2020 and March 2022, Stop AAPI Hate documented over 11,400 self-reported anti-AAPI hate incidents, according to its latest report released Wednesday
