Former Flint anchor talks about Asian American hate experience

Post by sinklair » Fri Mar 26, 2021 1:58 am

Very proud of former WEYI anchor Jane Park, who is now in Washington state. She was profiled by KING-TV about her experience with the hate and discrimination faced by Asian Americans and the difficult conversations she’s having with her children.

She’s now using a sizable fan base on TikTok to educate others. Might be the first time that TikTok was actually useful.

So that means it’s OK? That’s f’d up reasoning if I ever heard one. Hate is hate. Doesn’t matter who perpetuates it.

But the topic is about Jane using her voice to bring light to the issue and have these conversations with other Asian American families.

To be accurate, rather than “stop Asian hate,” which clumps all non-Asians together, why not call out what’s actually happening?

Where are all the indigenous people attacking Asians? Oh, yeah, it’s not happening. What about Hispanic attacks on Asians? Nope. It’s predominantly black people attacking Asians, but the media are too scared of black people to call it out.

Why doesn’t this former journalist educate people on what’s actually happening and try to protect Asians from black people attacking them? Instead, she’s teaching Asians that all people hate them, and that’s simply not true.
I’m sure she would have, if this were true... which it isn’t.
Around a quarter of attacks against Asian Americans are committed by non-whites. You don’t need to be Archimedes to figure out that is far from predominant. Besides, that’s not the point of Jane’s videos. She is educating her children about hate and she is sharing those lessons with others in order to spread awareness.

Jane’s journalistic integrity is impeccable, as is her personal integrity. To imply otherwise is deceitful.

Interesting. One of the most ignorant efforts I’ve ever heard... trying to have a rational argument with “Biden Girl”.
