Cognitive Dissonance fostered by their now departed dear leader.

China--Bad. Taking our jobs, taking our money. Giving us a virus. Doesn't have to be about the virus. Just has to be, darn, they just...look different, ya know? Easy to spot. Remember the Japanese? Easy peasy. Asian women, even easier...except, oops (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zA4Sr63f2EM)

Even those darn Chinese walking around in the US. They're all in on it, don't cha know? Those 16 hour a day cooks and laborers all dial back into the homeland at night to get their orders. I get this all from my wife, she dials in at 8PM.

I think I should be christened TF II after this post. Pretty proud of myself.

But seriously, doesn't have to be about anything related to the virus. You look, talk, smell, walk, eat, believe, etc. different than me, and with nothing better to do people find some way to hate.

Over 1/3 of San Francisco's population is Asian, and the city has a large number of homeless people, many of whom are afflicted with untreated psychiatric issues.

So when a mentally disturbed homeless guy in San Francisco attacks two people who both happen to be Asian, of course the news headline and story have to mention that the victims were Asian (such a rarity in San Francisco!) and imply that the motivation for the attack was likely race (couldn't have been random attacks due to psychiatric issues!). ::)

100% agree. Like the massage places murders, that guy had mental/sex issues, and it just so happens massage places are run a lot by Asians. No doubt media has latched onto this.

They hate Asians because Asians supposedly act white. You know--they work hard, study hard, become accomplished in racist things like science and classical music, build businesses--nose to the grindstone stuff. Inferior people resent being shown up. Because nobody's better or more capable than anyone else, and because you didn't build that anyway.

how can the right-wing simultaneously believe that both the virus is a hoax yet at the same time are so angry that China released it that they beat up random Asians on the street?

And I just couldn't respond in the moment so I took the high road and walked away.
Ha, that's a good one!

I think most conservatives do believe that the virus isn't a hoax, but they are not happy with the government-imposed controls inflicted on us in the name of controlling the virus. With the claim that the edicts are backed up by science, even though science shows those beliefs to be wrong. I just wish they could state it that way. It's weird how in other threads, people are talking at cross purposes because views are not being expressed clearly.

That's a debatable question, but it's the perception that matters.

Following your logic then, it could be argued that any attacks on Asians are in reality anti-white aggression.
I will admit, this idea would never have occurred to me.
