It's OVER 5,000!
I'm sure the Asian was oppressing the mostly peaceful protester and this is just the result of systemic racism.

Shortly after four Louisiana State Police troopers allegedly beat a Black man who had surrendered following a high-speed chase, the officers of Troop F sent 14 text messages to brag about the “whoopin’ ” they had given to 29-year-old Antonio Harris, according to court filings.
“He gonna be sore tomorrow for sure,” trooper Jacob Brown group-texted his colleagues in May, the filings allege.
“He’s gonna have nightmares for a long time,” trooper Dakota DeMoss allegedly said of what unfolded in Franklin Parish, La.
“Warms my heart knowing we could educate that young man,” Brown replied.
The court filings from earlier this month, which were first reported by Sound Off Louisiana, come weeks after four White officers — Brown, DeMoss, George Harper and Randall Dickerson — were arrested on accusations of excessive force, lying about multiple arrests and turning off their body cameras.

There is a lot of income variance by national origin for Asians in America
At the bottom there are:
Burmese 13K per capita
Hmong 19K
Nepalese 23K
Bangladeshi 24K
Cambodian 25K
At the top
Indian 55K
Taiwanese 55K
Japanese 51K
Chinese (excluding Taiwanese) 41K
Koreans 40K
They haven't been in this country long enough to make a definitive statement but my guess is we're going to see multi-generational cycles of poverty among the Hmong and the other low income groups. Kids raised in households that start out at the bottom just need a hell of a lot more of a helping hand than American society provides in general.
If you look at the Jews, generally a very successful group in this country, there are sub-groups among the Orthodox that also have multi-generational cycles of poverty. And the case for strong assistance from government to break those cycles also is there.
Blacks have the particular problems with racism that they alone face. But this should not overshadow the fact that the cycles of poverty in some African American communities have a lot in common with cycles of poverty that exist among the Hmong, the Orthodox, whites in Appalachia. There is a common component and a particular component having to do with racism both historical and present day. I don't believe that whites in Appalachia stay poor and toothless for generations because their culture is bad or they don't try hard enough. I think they try very hard. But when you are raised in a community where poverty is severe and widespread it is a very hard thing to do without more assistance than we generally provide. The fact that a small number from each generation manage to make it out is not proof that the others are lazy or don't make the effort.
I read this article about America's poorest white county years ago, but some of you might find it eye opening.

They can't because they are oppressed. That is ingrained to them at very young ages. They are a permenant victim which is a very hard thing to escape, sadly
More child abuse from the school system and dumb woke parents

One of the things we need to do much better is to reduce de facto segregation of our schools. We've created ghettos in our most affluent counties. You break it down with affordable housing in the more affluent areas. People will freak out. NIMBY is strong everywhere. But allow access for poorer kids to the better schools rather than herding them all into a ghetto school would make a big difference.
So there was once a politician that pushed school choice as the civil rights issue of our time.
I guess you agree with that?
Lol. He’s just as guilty as every other white person in regards to NIMBY and questioning schools when his kids still attended them. Don’t buy into his high horse Bull**** that he really cares about these things.
Another predictable exit from the conversation.

The evidence is very strong that giving people more choice and introducing competition in education is a good thing. I've talked about how areas like education and health care in this country have been captured by stake holders to the detriment of people who are supposed to be served.
So you agree with this politician then?
And since this is clearly at the heart of inequities in our society then it would take a non racist intellectual to understand and acknowledge it right?

Yeah. Increasing school choice doesn't magically solve all problems but it is a step in the right direction.
I kinda like what the New Hampshire legislature is taking up. Devil's in the details, but I like the general concept.
This is their ethos and why there will always be a divide on perceived inequities in our society.
